Scarlet Tanager (Male)

Warrenton, Virginia

You know I glanced at him twice before it clicked in my brain that he had black wings and tail. Too many Cardinals in our yard (misnomer).
I was cooking out on our east side patio; where we have several bird feeders and lots of Northern Cardinals, when this guy showed up high up in this Sycamore tree.
Best viewed in 'original' size.

That's a fine visitor indeed! And a wonderfully-composed image.
