When we lived in Annandale, the highlight of our backyard bird watching was when we spotted two scarlet tanagers one evening. For the next 5 years, we never saw them again.

I saw one of those in the Wisconsin woods many years ago, it was the most beautiful bird I've ever seen.

I have not seen Scarlet Tannigers here at all. In fact, a bluebird is a rarity in my yard, but over in Montgomery county at a friends home, they and the Baltimore Oreo are pretty common.

We get lots of Gold Finches, some purple finches, tufted Titmouse, chicadee, blue Jays, Cardinals, robins, Doves, my favorites, the cat birds are a delight to watch. They too will come almost up to you. There are a lot more.

Is that Annandale New Jersey? I saw two of those scarlet tanagers by the Clinton Cemetary (NJ). Was probably around 1988?? I'm not a bird watcher - but they wre so pretty and unusual that I went to the library and looked them up.
