Scarlet Tanager Photos

Photos of Scarlet Tanager - Piranga olivacea - Photography by Terry Sohl - South Dakota Birds and Birding

My Favorite: A beautiful species I've seen in several locations before in southeastern South Dakota. However, nothing touches the numbers that you can see at Newton Hills State Park. Most of the photos below are from there, including the beautiful male pictured here.
