This is a male cherrie’s tanager that I photographed in central Costa Rica. The name has nothing to do with the bird’s coloring, but rather is in honor of naturalist — and friend of Teddy Roosevelt — George Cherrie. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 600mm manual focus lens, ISO 400, f/8 at 1/30th of a second, Nikon SB-600 fill flash.
So you just took a picture of his Tanager but you didn’t give the bird back to Cherrie? Dude was a friend of Teddy Roosevelt’s, he must be a thousand years old. And he’s been looking for his bird this whole time. You should have given this old man his bird back Sean.
