Adding to my post series of three medium-sized birds, with the added bonus these three are all females and one a new photographed species lifer for me.
I’m glad you saw and photographed another life bird, Donna. It’s good to focus on females, because they often get too little press. π
It took me a long time to recognize female RWBBs, but knowing them well really helps rule out some other species, especially some of the confusingly marked sparrows. At least that was true for me.
Thank you, Steve! ππ Not until I learned she wasn’t anyway near a red color to match her male partner, it got easier IDing this gal, lol. How she ended up yellowish is funny. The females can really be difficult at times for me!

Thank you, Tanja! I’ve been working on female IDs more and more, they do get my brain swirling trying to get the ID right, lol. π
Cool. I’ve not seen a female scarlet tanager so envy not only the photograph but the sighting as well. Congrats, Donna!

Congratulations Donna on another lifer. That Scarlet Tanager was obviously in her yellow summer outfit!
Thank you very much, Mike! ππ It took me a while to figure the ST, you’d think she’d have a little red on her somewhere! π
Very nice images Donna! Enjoyed seeing them!
Thank you, Reed!
Beautiful selection Donna, and congrats for the lifer. We are so glad we finally have some more lifers from our recent holiday.
Thank you, Ashley!ππ Welcome back and glad to hear you gained some lifers!! Woot!!
Congrats on the new Scarlet Tanager – she isn’t as brilliant as the males, of course, but a good add to your list!
Thank you very much!
Nice captures!
