Tanagers.....

Scarlet Tanagers... on my last birding trip to my favorite migrant trap this beautiful Scarlet Tanager was there. They migrate through my area on there way to Canada an the North  Eastern United States. A very noticeable bird with it's Orange Red feathers and black wing and tail. They usually don't stick around very long with a warm southern wind they are gone. This particular bird I beleive was looking for  Stone flys where he is perched right below is a stream. I got a glimpse of this action but wasn't quick enough to get a photo.

This curious bird  a first year male I believe came very close,  right here he is under 2 feet. If you use a recording of Tanager songs they will come close to you.
