The story of the bird
The Hepatic Tanager wears a deep brick-red found nowhere else among North American tanagers, a mountain bird of the Southwest that birders often travel specifically to find. For those who’ve made the pilgrimage to the Arizona sky islands, this print is a place-memory; for those who haven’t, it’s something to look forward to.
The print
A single editorial plate in the Audubon tradition, cream ground, the male drawn in true proportion perched in ponderosa pine, the brick-red plumage and dark ear-patch rendered with field-guide precision.
