Scarlet Tanager
Hiking along the Chattahoochee River over the weekend, I encountered a beautiful bird.
This Summer Red-Bird was singing so happily that it was impossible not to notice.
I believe it is a Scarlet Tanager as they do enjoy the southeastern US at this time of year; and his color may not have been as bright as the mature male.... because he was *immature* Here's a photo clipped from Wikipedia.
I have seen one once in my own backyard. His redness was so obvious, I couldnt not notice him. They're only around for a few months, before they head south again.
Time to clean out the feeders again.
I've been neglecting my friends.
How beautiful your bird! Finches, hummingbirds and cardinals are my favorites.
