T is for.....

Hello Beautiful People! I'm back today with our T-Bird (dang it....I clearly missed that pun opportunity....oh well....)--------> the Tanager!  

 T is for Tammy,
who lived by the lake.
Sh played tambourine
'til her kids were awake.

The Tanager is a bird species that can come in many colors. Here's a photo I found with five different varieties from more tropical climes: the Golden Tanager, Swallow Tanager, Blue-winged Mountain-Tanager, Red-necked Tanager, Beryl-spangled Tanager.

 One of the more common Tanagers we see in the eastern parts of the United States is the Scarlet Tanager: 

 But I decided to go with my local variety, the Western Tanager:

Behold, our Alphabirds: 

And now, for my favorite part of these updates.....the video accompaniment. I present to you, Gonzo: Asia's First Tambourine Master: 

 back tomorrow with another bird!

take care,
Hilary
