Just wanted to say I appreciate these photos. I have only seen a tanager once in my life. It was a scarlet tanager--the one with a few little black feathers on their wings.

I was a child visiting my grandfather in Maplewood, NJ. It was darting through mature maples that lined the street where he lived. Although the bird was " darting", he stood out so vividly.

The town of Maplewood, in northern NJ, is aptly named.
