Single Malts - and other odd Musings

Scarlet Tanager - Piranga olivacea


I haven't seen a male Scarlet Tanager for many years - though I did photograph and post a female a summer or two or so ago - and just a day ago I spotted one without my camera.  But this evening when Carol went out to do her walk she came hurriedly in telling me to grab my camera as there was a strange Scarlet Tanager on the drive that was quite tame letting her get within a few feet of her.  We figured it to be a hatchling trying out its wings.  By the time I got outside it was about nine feet up into a holly tree and the day was getting dark.  I managed to do some digital enhancement of light, and bright etc to bring out the main features of this brilliant bird.
