Red Summer Tanager - Bird
A Bright Red Songbird, Caught in a Quiet Country Moment
Summer Tanager (Red), Northwest Arkansas
Some birds are shy. This one made me work for it.
Summer Tanager captures a vivid red songbird perched delicately on a rural barbed wire fence in Bentonville, Arkansas—its tiny prize of a snack still visible in its beak. After playing a several-day game of hide-and-seek with me, this little guy finally paused long enough to be photographed. And I’m so glad he did.
This signed fine art piece highlights the beauty of the backwoods—where nature’s color palette is rich, spontaneous, and full of surprises. The bright red of the tanager pops brilliantly against the neutral tones of the fence and countryside background, making this piece a true focal point in any room.
More than just a bird portrait, this photograph brings a quiet moment of rural Arkansas into your home—a moment that blends color, curiosity, and the joy of watching nature unfold.
