Scarlet tanager, claw

Piranga olivacea - Sadly this particular bird collided with a building in downtown Washington D.C. and the Lights Out DC / City Wildlife found it on an early spring morning. This foot, while dirty, is just filled with lovely graceful curves and reptilian scutes. Photograph by Sue Boo.
