Flame-colored Tanager (Piranga bidentata)

Hi Folks;

Discovered this never shown before photo of the very rare Flame colored Tanager taken June 8th. 2008. One of the last time he visited Madera Kubo B&B, in Madera Canyon, AZ. Those were the days I could climb those hills like a kid. Now, at 90 I'm confined to a cane & walker.. Like they say, "Old age ain't for sissies"

Keep smiling,

Uncle Gus

Brilliant capture of this beautiful Tanager! It is odd seeing one show up in states. Beautifully done and a gorgeous picture of this fabulous rare visitor. I love the saying "old age ain't for sissies". Take care my friend. It is always nice to see your posts!!!!!!
