Beautiful bird! I saw a female Tanager just the other day! Thanks for sharing!

[@dannisan77]

Wow, this bird is so brightly coloured and stunning. So drop dead gorgeous.

[@MyBackyardBirding]

Isn't he a sight. They are pretty elusive and stay high in the forest usually until migration time. BB

Awesome!

[@CenturianEagle]

Are they ever beautiful! 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for sharing this mini doc and for sharing this awesome footage !

[@MyBackyardBirding]

Beautiful! I see cardinals regularly, but I’ve never seen a tanager here in Alabama :)

[@folee_edge]

What a gorgeous bird! The eastern side of the U.S. has some beautiful specimens

[@MyBackyardBirding]

I agree! BB

[@JH-lz4dh]

Great footage! I’ve only seen this bird twice but each time was very special.

[@MyBackyardBirding]

Many thanks! One of those birds I always get excited about! BB

[@Holly-xn2qz]

I live in northeast Ohio what a beautiful bird 😊

[@MyBackyardBirding]

Yes they are! BB

I saw one of these three years ago, along with many thousands of periodical cicadas, in a university-owned forest. It was a surprise for sure, but a very welcome one. The few pictures I got were not great, but I still feel lucky that I saw it.

[@MyBackyardBirding]

It is very hard to get decent pictures of these birds in a natural woodland. These were with camera traps so they came out pretty clear. BB

Thank you sir, for your bird watching to provide the video footage & info about the Scarlet Tanager. I was reading about the sighting of one in UK & the response by twitches there. Amazing distances that they will travel to attempt to see one. 🙏🥰 Australia 🦘🦘

[@MyBackyardBirding]

Glad it was helpful! BB

I think I saw one yesterday! I was looking out at my water tray I have for the birds, (next to my feeders) and in the water tray splashing around was what I thought at first was a Cardinal but I looked and it had black wings, I thought, what bird is that? Now I know! I believe that was first time seeing one in my yard! So pretty!!❤ I do that some thick trees just on the back of my property.

Never heard of this bird before , it is headline new in England today. i am here just to see how it sounded like, bbc news article: Crowds flock to quiet street to spot rare bird

[@MyBackyardBirding]

That's wild, I just checked out the news stories. BB

Any advice on the Best Backyard bird feeder?

[@MyBackyardBirding]

A large platform feeder is always popular to start with and a tube feeder for smaller birds. Shelled black oil sunflower seeds are always a good start. Avoid the cheap big bags of mixed food most will be wasted. Have fun!

Thank you!
