Scarlet Tanagers
I thought I had seen just about everything at my bird feeding station until I looked out last week and saw a Scarlet Tanager. I've only seen a few of these in my life and never thought I would see one at my feeder or get a photo of one.

Comments Welcome

The next day the female showed up. Then they were gone. What a wonderful sight.

Phil - great shots. I've only seen these through binoculars in the woods. Nice of them to pay you a visit. It's nice to get a surprise like that from time to time.

Nice work Phil. The birds stand out nicely against the background. Good composition.
