My first Scarlet Tanager!

My wife and I have only been birding since November, so this spring has been exciting! This past Sunday we entered a forest after exploring a more open area with bushes by some water. Immediately I saw the BRIGHTEST red bird jumping from tree to tree about 7-8ft off the ground. I guess they’re usually up high and hard to spot so I consider this a blessing!

EDIT: I’m located between Ithaca and Cortland, NY.

I usually shoot wildlife, decided to try some waterfall shots this past Sunday. Handheld with my Lumix S5ii + S Pro 16-35 f4.

I’m lucky to live close by, so I try to visit daily. Always lots of action!
