I was so excited to see this
sweet little Scarlet Tanager at the
bird feeder as they usually remain in the
woods where you might see a flash of red now and then.

He is BEAUTIFUL, and on Memorial Day weekend as well. Thanks so much for sharing, I have never seen a real one.
He (or she??) couldn't resist coming out of the woods to partake in the generous hospitality being offered. What a special blessing to capture this beauty.
Dea, it is a male. The females are a yellowish/green color.

How you managed to capture such intense color I don't know. Beautiful photos of a gorgeous bird.
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful bird. I have only seen one at the very top of a large tree and that was years ago.
What a treat to see this beauty!!

Wonderful. At this time of year I watch and hope to see a flash of red from the Red Robin. There is nothing like red for putting on a show.
Rare and exciting!

Oh, I love that quote! The beauty of your photography always captures my eye... and your quotes capture my ears! = )
I have never seen one of these.
What a gorgeous bird!!
I have never heard of these. What a vivid scarlet and what a sweet face. He looks like a cartoon bird.
Oh, that color. Indeed, Susan, a moment from God. I'm so blessed to share in these moments with you and others. Straight from God, it always feels like. He creates the opportunity and then prompts you to capture His glory, like in that sunset below. You are a faithful servant, Susan! Thank you.
The only colorful birds we see round here are the cardinals. These are a delight.
What a blessing you had, the timing perfect.
Made me rejoice right along with you... even though I'm later than you. Hope I can see it again when visiting next week.
