Scarlet Tanager-Lee Martinez Park- Fort Collins Larimer CO

[Josh Bruening]

Male Scarlet Tanager currently being seen near the low damn on the river just north of the parking area. It was seen earlier by Dave Wade. Dan Laszlo, Rachel Hopper and myself are looking at it currently. It's working the Willows and Cottonwoods next to the river.

Greetings birders, I wanted to report this bird earlier but my phone crashed while typing in my message, drat. My impression is it's working the large cottonwoods lining the river near the low-head dam. I saw it both high in tree tops and low in the understory.  I heard  the chik-bur call note once but heard the single chik note several times. I may have heard it's burry  robin-like song too, but I'm not entirely sure about that, Robins and other like sounders give me trouble. Congrats to Penny for finding this Spring gem!
