New Bird in the Hood

lc2267


I had a new visitor to my yard. A bird I had not seen here before. She tried to ignore me.

Peeking over her shoulder coyly.

Then she finally let me get a better look. If I’m not mistaken I think she’s a female Scarlet Tanager. Whatever she is, she sure is cute!

    I'm so jealous! Maybe someday we'll have one come visit our yard.

    I concur...about her looks. I have no idea about her identity.

    The person who started giving birds their common names musta been color blind. Scarlet Tanager? Purple Martin? they're both YEL-LOW. Even I can tell that!

    Cool shots though! and yeah, she looks coy for sure. She must be a terror among the Boy Tanagers.

    what a lovely bird. glad she stood still long enough to get such great shots. i have to agree with Emily, my pups make it a point to keep all wildlife out of their yard. they are really very good at it.

    How dare that beauty try to ignore you. You know what creeps me out, for every bird I see I know there are hundreds more watching.

    She's beautiful. I hope the male makes an appearance for you. I've never seen either (in person).

    Wow--I have never had a female scarlet tanager come to our feeder. That's great and what wonderful photos.

    Beautiful. I wish I could have a bird feeder around the house but Smidget (my cat) would munch down on them. Have a great night.

    Yes. There is a happiness in her eyes, too. Maybe all that suet at her talon tips is enough to inspire that!
