I photographed this colorful Western Tanager this weekend at the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery in Leavenworth, WA. What a beautiful bird! This was my first time photographing one of these birds and I can’t get over their amazing colors. The fish hatchery is a highly recommended spot for bird watching and bird photography. I got some great shots of woodpeckers, Red Crossbills, and grosbeaks in addition to tanagers.
