"The Summer Tanager, Piranga rubra, is a medium-sized American songbird. Formerly placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae), it and other members of its genus are now classified in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae).[2] The species's plumage and vocalizations are similar to other members of the cardinal family."

Thanks, Ely. Based from Wikipedia, the male is bright rose red and the female is colored yellow. I saw this bird easily because of its bright red color. Regards.

What a bright red bird! First pic is very nice. We don't see many bright red birds here, not the whole body anyway. Great photo.

I liked the first pic too as it is sharper than the others. It was my first time to see this kind of tanager as well. They can be easily seen because of their bright red color but they are difficult to shoot because they are always active and move a lot. Thanks for viewing.
