Great photo. When I first saw the pic, the orange jumped out at me because we see large orange "T"s a lot in this area. People are fan of the UT-Knoxville Volunteers sports teams - - like over the top wild about them.

Sandra said...

Oh what a pretty bird. I don't know that I've ever seen one in person! Thanks Connie.

Wow the scarlet tanager is a beauty. Does the orange color attract tanagers?

Oh pretty bird! I was thrilled to see a Baltimore Oriole trying to land on our suet feeder last week. We do see them on rare occasions, they must pass through Alberta for some unbeknownst reason.

Sara said...

I've never actually seen a Scarlet Tanager around here. I wonder if we have them.
