This bird was found in the zoo's Rain forest aviary but the signage has not been updated. I apologize if the shot is not clear, I could not get a shot of the front of the bird before it flew away.

This is a Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra), it is a bird native to North Carolina. The zoo runs a wildlife rehab center and some birds that cannot be released into the wild are placed in the aviary.
