Taken the day before Jim Urbach arrived. Observed that this Summer Tanager would grab a Mulberry and then perch on a nearby tree, so I followed the bird so the that I could get a perch suitable for this week's motif!!!!!!!!

Please enjoy and comments appreciated.

I'm speechless

You have done great Hugh, it's so beautiful and I'm very much envy.

Beautiful shot, Hugh. The only suggestion I have is maybe a little room on the bottom for the virtual tail.

Well done.

What a "berry nice" image you have here. Good thinking on watching and waiting. The bird is beautiful...the perch wonderful....and with that mulberry...it couldn't be better.

That's a beauty, Hugh.

A sweet Summer Tanager. I've never had any luck at the Mulberry tree but have not been there this late in the year (early April is the latest). Well Done and I love the berry.
