Scarlet Tanager at Home Lake Tonite

[mvjo...@gmail.com]

A rare male Scarlet Tanager was feeding in the willow trees on the west side of Home Lake just south of the handicap fishing ramp (Rio Grande County). This represents only the 6th record, so far as I know, of this species in the San Luis Valley. It was only the second time I have seen it in 37 years of birding down here.
