As I was lounging outside the bunkhouse of Monte Vista NWR this evening talking on the phone, I hurriedly hung up on my mom as a red blur shot past me into the nearby conifers. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the black wings of a Scarlet Tanager and yelled into the bunkhouse to get more eyes on this beauty. He hung around for at least 20 minutes or so, giving us excellent views and hopping from the ground to the lowest branches of the trees. This area is not publicly accessible, but if he's still hanging around tomorrow I'm happy to have visitors come by while we're at the bunkhouse. I'll give an update in the morning!
Good birding,
Casey Setash
