Scarlet Tanager

I’d been hearing tanagers in the woods around our campsite at Starved Rock ever since we arrived, and I spotted a female a couple times. But on Sunday morning, shortly before we had to leave, the male visited, coming close and sticking around long enough for everyone to get a good look.
