cccougar Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 This was taken just now in my backyard near Charleston, SC. Not a regular patron of my free buffet so excited to see an unfamiliar face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRVan Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I would say a female tanager. Not sure between Summer and Scarlet.There appears to be a darker wing which might indicate a Scarlet but unsure based on the photo. Hopefully someone better versed in eastern birds can help.

cccougar Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 This is my only other decent shot, which required brightening. I have spotted male and female Summer Tanagers here in coastal South Carolina. Never the Scarlett variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
