Description

shots taken in the rain in low light conditions. This male White-lined Tanager came in to a feeder with some Blue-gray Tanagers. The "white line" is typically only visible in flight, otherwise it looks sort of like a small blackbird. I finally succeeded in getting a couple of blurry shots in flight. With the eye or through binocs the white is quite noticeable when the bird flies. Images 5 and 6 show the bird in flight.
