An early morning visit to the Great Blue Heron rookery at Killbear always proves very fruitful with a variety of flycatchers and woodpeckers but none more colourful than this male Scarlet Tanager.
Scarlet Tanagers visit many kinds of berry plants, including blackberries, raspberries, huckleberries, serviceberries, mulberries, strawberries, and chokeberries.
On the wintering grounds in South America the Scarlet Tanager joins mixed species foraging flocks with flycatchers, antbirds, woodcreepers, and resident tropical tanagers. Cornell All About Birds
