    Avian Bay - headed Tanager

    Might be a first post of this species on BPN, couldnt find in search for Tanagers

    Taken at Cerro Azul in an area of high altitude with lots of planted pine trees. Actually the same private house location where I saw Stripe cheeked Wody and Rufous crested Coquete, sadly I did not get the chance to capture those.

    The branch is well oviously not good but these were very shy so had to take the shot - better for the moth /flower, not sure which it is.

    1/400 eV -1.33 iso 800 f8 LIGHT DULL/OVERCAST
    40D 1.4 on 100-400 50 crop

    Beautiful colors in this species Richard. I agree about space below. Have you considered a landscape crop of this shot ?

    Wicked cool bird with a moth but the huge perch is a downer as it overwhelms the bird. You, however, did as good as you could have.
