These are all at a distance, testing the modest limits of my camera's lens. But I caught the elusive Scarlet Tanager again, as well as a not very elusive Blue Jay.
The little jungle of trees at the foot of our yard seems to be a popular hangout.
There's a Downy Woodpecker . . .
And a Red-Bellied Woodpecker, both frequent customers at our suet feeder.
Excellent neighbors, all of them!

Yes!
You live in a good place.
I would love to see a tanager! We have just about everything else though. All kinds of woodpeckers, including a pair of pileateds, goldfinches, blue jays, chipping sparrows, mockingbirds, hummingbirds, and literally dozens of cardinals. Sometimes bluebirds stop by and eat sunflower chips, but they come more frequently in winter when we put out dried worms for them. Birdwatching soothes the soul and vanishes worry and tension, at least for a while.
