Description
after all this time (many years) we finally had a scarlet tanager in our yard. The across the street neighbor posted pics of two males on her Facebook page. I did go over and get some great shots of one on her lawn. They were eating suet. Tanagers only eat bugs and fruits, no seeds. So you won't see them at your feeders.
I was under the arbor in our backyard (undercover) when this brilliant guy landed on an orange (they, like orioles, like them and tangerines) then he hopped off and posed. He was only about 10 ft away. A big moment in my life as a wildlife photographer. We had 6 adult Baltimore orioles (4 adult males, 1 sub-adult male, 1 female) and a female Orchard oriole (rare for around here). And a rose-breasted grosbeak (male) and a pair of white-crowned sparrows. And possibly a pine warbler, wasn't sure. (no photo)
So it was Bird Day here. All I need is an indigo bunting...
