Scarlet Tanager, male
There's a Scarlet Tanager singing in our backyard right now. These beautiful neotropical migrant birds fly each fall across the Gulf of Mexico to winter in South America then return in spring to breed in forests across most of the upper two thirds of North America and southern Canada. Look for them up high in the tree tops and learn their raspy song that sounds a little like a robin with a hoarse voice.
