tanager

Vivid American percher

A tanager is a small American songbird, typically the male displaying brilliant plumage in reds, yellows, and blacks.

The scarlet tanager, with its vivid red body and black wings, is among the most striking birds in eastern North American forests: We spotted a tanager in the oak tree.
