Neat markings on all of these specimens. Hard tp pick favorites but I really like the markings on the Blue-winged Mountain Tanager and the Hooded Mountain Tanager.

Wow Michael! These are so awesome. I didn't know there was such a variety. My favorite I think is the green one. That's a very cool shade of green! You really scored with catching all of these.

Great series Michael. Makes all the Tanagers I've seen look pale in comparison. I knew there were a lot of different Tanagers, but according to Wikipedia "As of July 2023 the family contains 386 species which are divided into 15 subfamilies and 105 genera"

Kevin thanks for the comments on my images and the info on the number of Tanagers!
