Scarlet Tanager

Wikipedia: The scarlet tanager (Piranga olivacea) is a medium-sized American songbird. Until recently, it was placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae), but it and other members of its genus are now classified as belonging to the cardinal family (Cardinalidae).

 

Their breeding habitat is large stretches of deciduous forest, especially with oaks, across eastern North America. In winter, Scarlet tanagers migrate to the montane forest of the Andean foothills of northwestern South America, passing through Central America around April, and again around October.

 

Conservation status: Least Concern
