<p>Scarlet Tanager, Male<br /> Brooklyn NYC<br /> <br /> This was my favorite picture from the fallout last Friday.  Despite the abundance of warblers it`s just as rare I spot tanagers and I was hoping to get a decent shot of one of them.  The first 3 times I saw one, it was fleeting, as they were quickly on the move.  Later I came across this individual who was hunting flying termites along with a mess of warblers.  For their bigger size the Tanagers are surprisingly agile.  This bird was high in the canopy and in the shade for much of the show, and this was the only perch I was able to get shots with decent lighting in them.  I love the lighting in the eye here!</p>
