I am sitting looking out my home office window at a steady stream of warbler - redstarts, a Chestnut-sided, a Wilson's along with the Great Crested Flycatcher and peewees and phoebes and such when right on the tree I can touch when I open my window - a Scarlet Tanager lands! I almost had an accident. I could not find my voice and managed to click off a few pics which didn't even frame the bird. I have been struck by beauty before but this almost landed a knock out punch. Wow! I will never forget that - never! It was like it was almost in my home!
