Description

Summer tanagers (Piranga rubra) are occasionally spotted among the cottonwoods along Bright Angel Creek at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. They tend to stay high in the canopy, hopping from limb to limb in search of insects. The males’ bright red color contrasts beautifully with the vibrant green cottonwood leaves. Combined with their sweet birdsong, they become welcomed friends of visitors cooling off in the creek below. Take a Minute Out In It to come birdwatching in the creek!
