Male Scarlet Tanager

While we were camping this past weekend I got my closest and best photos of a male Scarlet Tanager to date. He was curious about the sound of my camera shutter and kept coming closer to have a look. What a bright, handsome guy!

    Nice pictures of a sharp-looking bird… Red and black make for an intense contrast.

    Paul - I accidentally deleted my reply when deleting some spam. Yes, the colors are very striking and an amazing shade of scarlet.
