At this time of year it is all about warblers but when you run into a Scarlet Tanager it take precedence as they are so stunning beautiful! A Scarlet Tanager was present while I was at there at Lake Park and it gave great views. It hung around about a 50 foot circle going back and forth from being on the ground to about a height of 5 foot catching small insects. It did this while I was there for about 15 minutes. It was always on the move and then just flew out of sight. The colors of the Scarlet Tanager are unbelievable to say the least as you can tell by the images below. It was a partly sunny day with mild temps around 50 and light winds. Images were taken on May 17, 2025.
