Laulu-leeklind on ainus üleni punane lind Põhja-Ameerikas. Kui
pesitsusajal ulatub levila USA idarannikul peaaegu Kanadani, siis
pesitsusvälise aja veedab leeklind siiski Kesk- ja Lõuna-Ameerikas. Kuna
ta tegutseb peamiselt puude latvades, siis hoolimata oma silmatorkavast
välimusest, lind inimeste silme alla väga tihti ei satu. Minul tol
hommikul vedas ning see laulu-leeklind jäi objektiivi ette Kariibi mere
rannikul, Costa Ricas.
Summer Tanager is the only completely red bird in North America.
During the breeding season (summer) you can find it almost everywhere
in the US east coast (hence the English name) but for "off-season" it
migrates to Central and South America. As these birds tend to
stay fairly high in the forest canopy, you don't see them very oftend
despite their striking looks. I was lucky that morning in
the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
