The Hepatic Tanager

Continuing with my "5" Star Photos we come to the Hepatic Tanager. All the Tanagers are beautiful. Even more so because they aren't abundant. When you find one you can't help but be excited. Of the four Tanager species in the US, the Hepatic Tanager has the smallest range essentially just Arizona and New Mexico. The Hepatic is similar to the Summer Tanager but has grey auriculars and flanks as in this photo.
