[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the tree-garden behind the small restaurant in Casimiro de Abreu I find more and more Tanagers. All ready for their daily allowance of fruit. This-one was easy to identify.

The Brazilian Tanager (Ramphocelus bresilius) is a species of bird in the Thraupidae family. It is found in Argentina and Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and heavily degraded former forest. Endemic.
19 cm. Male bright red with black wings and tail (also mantle in southern race). Female and immature brownish, the latter gets increasing amounts of red with age.
Voice a constant, spaced jep or jip, diagnostic of species. Usually alone or in loose family groups.

Hello Peter,
Tanagers are attractive birds and this Brazilian Tanager is no exception: you capture it sharply, with good colour and composed the image in a pleasing way.

Hi Peter,
Gorgeous looking bird with such vivid colours and sharp details on its plumage. Superb natural lighting and you have captured a fine pose in its natural habitat. Excellent POV/DOF here and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Very good capture! Great Detail on this beauty. Bravo! Cheers, Klaus

Hello Peter very well composed, strong contrasty bird and soft background provides a "pop" factor, good sharp catchlight and colours are really amazing, tfs rgds Necip.

A very nice intense red bird, I like its colours! Good picture, document and note.
