Scarlet Tanager

I have sought decent photos of the Scarlet Tanager all spring. A turn down another trail, which I wasn't going to make, made the difference of the sighting. I instantly saw the red bird hunting for caterpillars in the trees. The flash of black wings ruled out the Cardinal! Finally I was able to get the shots!
