Scarlet Tanager ♂️
Male and female Scarlet Tanagers are some of the prettiest visitors we have here at this time of the year. The tanagers like this oak in front of the house as a landing place before they approach the suet feeder. The frost at night a few days ago has damaged some of the fresh leaves on this young oak but the tree recovers quickly. With the cold weather we had lately these neotropical migrants come in very frequently. Later during the summer they spend most of their time in the canopy of the forest and forage for insects. That’s when we hardly see them anymore.
