Blue-Gray Tanager
I originally wrote the following a couple of years ago, and I've just noticed something interesting—the bird in the photograph has captured an insect of some sort!
While going through some of my photographs from Costa Maya, Mexico this morning, I stumbled upon a few that initially appeared to be nothing more than a dark cluster of leaves. My first thought was that I must have taken these photos by accident. I was just about to delete them when something caught my eye—wait a minute, what’s that? Upon closer inspection, I realized there was a bird in the photos! I believe the bird might be a blue-gray tanager (Thraupis episcopus), based on an ID I found using Merlin.
