Curious Mr. Scarlet Tanager

Mr. Scarlet is in our backyard and straight in from South America! He was so curious he just acted like he had been looking for me for a very long time and had to make sure it was me by straining from out behind this Maple. And then hopping from limb to limb getting ever closer until he acted like the next leap would be into the palm of my hand. Oh how I wish that was the ending. Maybe on another day! :)
