Scarlet Tanager - 18Apr2019 & 03Oct2020

It seems strange that I don't have better pictures of this amazing bird which graces my home state.  However, now that I think on it, my camera has never liked the brilliant scarlet color and usually doesn't produce good photos.  I get the same problem with Vermilion Flycatchers.  This one was at the Mayaland Resort next to Chichen Itza in the Yucatan.

Here is a more muted female or immature bird photographed locally at Burnt Mill Creek in Wilmington, NC.
