This bird… looks like it flew straight out of a sunset.
In the pine forests of western North America, the Western Tanager flashes through the canopy in brilliant yellow, black, and a fiery red face that seems to glow among the needles. It feeds on insects, berries, and small fruits, moving gracefully between branches and occasionally catching prey mid-air. What makes it extraordinary is its long migration — traveling thousands of miles between northern forests and tropical wintering grounds, quietly linking distant ecosystems along the way. A streak of color in the high trees, yet a tireless traveler of the skies.
