A Scarlet Tanager is a sneaky bird, despite being so bright and red. It spends its whole life in the treetops, away from our eyes.
But sometimes, especially in the spring, we can get a glimpse of this beautiful creature.

Scarlet tanagers are red enough to begin with but when you see them in that first sunrise light they look like they're lit from within.

April 26, 2024 - Ash-breasted Sierra Finch (Geospizopsis plebejus)
Found in the Andes from Ecuador to Argentina, these tanagers live in open habitats, including grasslands, bogs, and desert highlands. They eat mostly seeds and some arthropods, foraging in small flocks, sometimes with other species, on the ground. Breeding from October to July, they build messy nests from grass, hair, wool, and feathers in crevices, under eaves, on the ground under large rocks, or in grass clumps or bushes. Females lay clutches of two eggs.
