[mou] Scarlet Tanager

[Thomas Maiello]

I am sitting looking out my home office window at a steady stream of  
warbler - redstarts, a Chestnut-sided, a Wilson's along with the Great  
Crested Flycatcher and peewees and phoebes and such when right on the  
tree I can touch when I open my window - a Scarlet Tanager lands!  I  
almost had an accident.  I could not find my voice and managed to  
click off a few pics which didn't even frame the bird.  I have been  
struck by beauty before but this almost landed a knock out punch.   
Wow!  I will never forget that - never!  It was like it was almost in  
my home!

Sweeeeeeet!
