Tanagers Eating Mulberries



the mulberry tree in its 5th year




young male Western Tanager, its red feathers coming in on its head




female Western Tanager




there were 4 or 5 of these in the tree at once, eating mulberries, which are very good, and I rarely get to taste one;  the birds get there first...and I get to watch them...

  1. Your blog has this wonderful life to it - snakes and birds and butterflies and squirrels and paintings...
    Fantastic!!!! I love those tanager photos. How fortuitous to have them visit!
