The red of a Cardinal was for me the brightest red color I could imagine … till I saw this bird.
Done in Wabukayne Park - Mississauga
A striking black-winged red bird, the Scarlet Tanager is a common species of the eastern forest interior. Despite its brilliant coloring it is often overlooked because of its rather secretive behavior and its preference for the forest canopy.
