Charlie Spencer Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) I think you have an immature male Scarlet Tanager. In my uneducated opinion, the wings are too dark for Summer, and there's too much red for Western. Definitely wait for other opinions.

Charlie Spencer Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Upon further review, I agree with Summer. I looked at photos of immature Scarlets and the tail and wings are completely black with no red on the body. Adult male Scarlets may show some red on yellow but the wings are still solid black. Great photos, by the way. Edited April 13 by Charlie Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Yes, Summer. Scarlet is very rare in the west. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
