While in elementary school, our class was informed that the Scarlet Tanager was extinct in the wild, only residing in zoos and picture books. Decades later I saw one in the high tree tops in the woods. That is
one of the benefits of riding; your horse watches were their feet step, leaving you to look, listen and throughly enjoy your surroundings. Now, I'm always watchful for birds that I know are out there.
On the way to work this morning, on the side of the road, saw an Oriole!
In the pasture we now have a pair of Red Winged Black birds. I really enjoy seeing them, too.
