Scarlet tanager singing (Piranga olivacea) America. | BIRDS & Nature

This bird sounds similar to the American Robin and Scarlet Tanager. But its appearance is unmistakable, an icon of the west. This is another video I filmed a while back, from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. I found this clip while looking through old footage for my upcoming bird song compilation. It turns out I have videos of over 160 US bird species singing or calling out, so that's how long my compilation is going to be 🎼 | Navarre Marshall

The Scarlet Tanager (Piranga olivacea) is one of North America’s most striking songbirds, often described as a glowing flame hidden within the forest canopy. The males are unmistakable during breeding season, displaying brilliant scarlet plumage contrasted with deep black wings and tail — a combination so bold it seems almost unreal. Females, in contrast, wear olive-yellow tones that help them blend into the foliage. Despite their vivid colors, Scarlet Tanagers are surprisingly difficult to spot
