a single individual (part of a family group) bathing in a tree crevice in a sunny afternoon, after a downpour at noon. Notice the alert posture of it before proceeding to bathe.
This video shows a procession of birds that came to this jelly feeder while I and a pack of other birders were waiting, cameras poised, for a Flame-Colored Tanager to make its appearance. This bird is a Mexican species, and this was a very rare appearance north of the border, at Madera Canyon in southeast Arizona. You can hear the tanager singing loudly throughout the video, but before he visits the feeder (at 2:44), you'll see nice shots of a Mexican Jay, followed by some birders and unholy mess as I move and reposition the scope, and finally an Acorn Woodpecker. While the woodpecker was feeding, the tanager flew in and was patiently waiting its turn on a branch just above the feeder.
Video Rating: 0 / 5
