Spring Migration Hot Spot

With its red head contrasting with a yellow body and black wings, when the breeding male Western Tananger Piranga ludovicana flies in it presents an exciting flash of color. The red head is much diminished in the non-breeding male and absent in the female.

These were photographed at the Gorge Walker House and the Cave Creek Ranch.
