Blue-Gray Tanager

What is she looking at? What was your distance from her when you took the photo?

Excellent...just excellent.

Superb DOF; excellent capture.

Mahrashk, J.W. and Pulok for stopping by. Mahrashk, the distance is about 20-25 feet and it's looking at the birdfeeder.

The Blue-Gray Tanager (Thraupis virens) from Mexico, Central and

South America is usually quite hardy once acclimatized.. They are

terrestrial (ground dwelling) birds spending much of their time on

the ground searching for small fruits and insects. The Blue-gray

Tanager is usually peaceful and quiet. It is one of the easily-bred

of all tanagers in captivity. Total length is six inches, including

the two inch long tail. Both sexes are alike in general appearance,

and must be sexed by their behavior. A good diet includes soaked,

dried currants and raisins, grapes, cut pear and apple, dates, figs,

bananas, and halved oranges. In addition, insects (mealworms,

waxworms, maggots and crickets) are appreciated.

What a beauty? Both the little guy as well as the photo.

Thanks for stopping by.
