Pretty gray out but got him. First Scarlet Tanager I have ever seen.

[Jim Almquist]

Very Nice !!!!

I have only seen one in my lifetime as well.

[LeeKen]

Good job! Will you give him directions to Detroit Lakes? I've never seen one.

[Dotch]

Agree! I too have seen only 1. That was about 35 years ago between Sumner and Spring Valley.

[eyeguy 54]

It has been around a while so got a short video. Gotta do more vids and learn the settings.

[eyeguy 54]

Getting cold in the house with my patio door open all morning! lol

[NoWiser]

I saw one last week when I was turkey hunting near Shakopee! First one I've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, he left before I could grab my camera, but it made my day for sure!

Saqw one the other day also.

I also caught a Indigo Bunting at the feeder, in fact 4 of them have been hanging around for the past 4 days. man, they are a beautifulk blue. Took some pics but I cannot get them on the computer, maybe computer issue with the card reader.

[Sturg]

Congrats! Way cool

[DARK30]

Somebody do a "how to feed jelly thred" I wanna set it up.

[eyeguy 54]

I got this feeder at Mills. grape jelly one side and meal worms on the other.

Well this is a weird coincedence....I've never seen a scarlet tanenger in my life, and living in Duluth I didn't figure they came up this far. I read this thread this morning, and on the ride home tonight ...lo and behold, I almost run one over sitting on the road a mile south of the house! Saw it on the road up ahead and thought it was a red rubber ball or something:) By the time I swerved around it I was thinking "what the heck??" I turned around figuring it was long gone, but now it was sitting right in the traffic lane on the other side of the road!! Do they typically have a death wish?? So I got the worst bird pic of all time:)

[eyeguy 54]

He was back today and maybe had a gal pal with him. Not quite sure.

[EBass]

Thanks for sharing EG. I saw one of these for the first time in my life yesterday while raking. He hung around for a while eating lil bugs hopping on the ground. I did take a bunch of pics, but with a cell phone. So I bet they are blurry. Haven't checked them yet but I will and will post one of the better pics if that exists.

I think it's the same, but the one I saw had a small white patch on it's head to. Dunno, cool lil bird and wasn't that afraid of me.

[eyeguy 54]

Getting lots of reports of first sightings. Pretty neat! Must be something with the weather. Who knows.

[B. Amish]

Good job! Will you give him directions to Detroit Lakes? I've never seen one.

i seen my first two this year. one was on lakeview golf course. the other was by frazee.

[B. Amish]

tons and tons of warblers in DL right now. i've seen 6-10 different species in my yard in the last couple days. usually, i only see yellow-rumped.

[bobbymalone]

I've seen a fair number of them in the minnesota valley NWR.

[eyeguy 54]

It must be great to see lots of them!

[LeeKen]

Eyeguy, thanks for helping out! Apparently you give good directions to Detroit Lakes!

[eyeguy 54]

no problem. he is pretty fast!! lol

[EBass]

Yup that's what it looks like. And my pics are horrid. Just a red blur.
