Why do I have to suffer with allergies every year? Maybe to appreciate the good times without symptoms. A few mornings ago, I was up and feeling fairly good. My eyes were tolerable, and the sneezing failed to occur. The outside morning temperatures were in the forty-degree range. I am going for a walk!
I started the walk feeling good. the cool morning air felt good with each breath.
I was interested in what wildlife I may see this fine day. I saw a couple of deer; one had a fawn with it nursing. I saw some spring-time birds seldom viewed. The Scarlet Tanager is a favorite for the color red is vivid contrasting the black wings and tail. I managed to get a few pics of this beauty.

Another bird seldom viewed close enough to identify is the Kentucky warbler. Warblers are difficult to photograph for they dart quickly from limb to limb.
I was lucky with a shot of a Turkey Vulture, too.

Good days for me seldom last long for as the day warmed up so did the symptoms. I was miserable by the time I returned home. Oh well it was good while it lasted.


Beautiful pics! Sorry about the allergies. We have seen those scarlet tanagers around our valley this year. Didn’t really notice them before.
Hi Kathy, They are a most beautiful bird usually seen in the mod to upper canopies of the forest.
