As if spending a couple of hours trotting through the woods on a beautiful day weren't enough to start my long weekend off right, today I spotted a male Scarlet Tanager for the first time ever!! 😃 Wow, it was so much more...well, *scarlet*...than even a male cardinal! Of course it was up in the trees, but the call confirmed it for sure. I wish all of you a spot of joy like that today! Here are some pretty sun-dappled woods, since I didn't snap the tanager...
