What a wonderful start you've made to your Gallery with this beautiful tanager!!!!

Very well done Brian - I'll look forward to seeing some more of your pictures.
 
Great capture of this Azure shouldered Tanager Brian! Many thanks for sharing! This bird is a bit tricky, because the Azure shouldered has a azure patch on its shoulder, and a Blue grey has a white patch on its shoulder. Otherwise they lock the same :t:

Wow! I love the face on this Tanager! A stunning capture.
 
If it is an Azure, then we have many more in Trinidad. Even my pic from a few days ago has the same thin white and quickly blending to bluish colour on the shoulder. Guides only have the Blue-gray for Trinidad.
