Wild Bird Fund(@wildbirdfund):Last night's big wave of migration brought us a new assortment of songbirds, including this male scarlet tanager, the most vividly red bird of all the red birds. Every year, when these beauties return from South America, it can take some time for one's eyes to adjust to their brilliance. Until then, watery eyes and sniffles may occur. This bird, like the other migrators we admitted, collided with a window. He's alert but will need a couple of days to recover from possible concussion. 📷: Rachel Frank
