Photo taken at Laguna Seca Ranch in South Texas April 16, 2018.

Nikon D850, Nikon 300mm f/2.8 lens, 1/1000 sec at f/9.0, ISO 320.

My previous post was a Male Summer Tanager.  Wanted to show both the male and female for those who are not familiar with Summer Tanagers.

There is quite a contrast between the sexes. Great look back pose and eye contact. I always enjoy this species during its migration.

Beautiful. Love the lighting and the backside pose is nice too.I can tell from the placement of the specular highlight in the eye you had a nice low sun angle. Great stuff Gene. Always nice to see the females equally represented.
Thanks for looking,
