Red Birds

In this photograph, two cardinals perch in a loose thicket of bare branches—one in the upper right corner of the frame, the other in the lower left. Both face right, their vivid red plumage cutting through the tangle like punctuation in a quiet sentence.

Red at the Crown

Finally—a male summer tanager (Piranga rubra). I’ve photographed a few females before, but this is the first male to grace my lens. He perched high atop a tall oak at the forest’s edge, just out of reach. Still, with a telescopic lens and a generous helping of megapixels, I managed a usable image or two.
