The Scarlet Tanager is back.

Actually there were 3 different males. This was the best snap shot I could get for now as they are so darn quick.

Gorgeous! I've never spotted one up here on the tundra (minnesota).....altho I hear that they do migrate this far north......

They are beautiful!

It's thrilling to see them huh? We are lucky enough to see them twice a year every year. Our backyard is half woods which borders on deep woods that are state protected and they seem to come out of the woods in the spring and fall just long enough for us to see them, beautiful birds! Congrats on the photo, I never seem to have my camera ready when they arrive and you know full well that if you go back into the house, when you get back they're gone!
