SCARLET TANAGER? A female Scarlet Tanager visits for early cherries.The spectacular scarlet color of the male is replaced at molting by yellowish feathers which make the males look almost exactly like the yellowish female.

Nice photo. Getting a wild bird to pose is a skill I don't have. Also thanks for the info, you could pass as an ornithologist.

Fascinating info re: tanagers... I never SEE them!
also, what kind of cherry tree? sour cherries or "wild" cherries? Down here, wild cherry trees are considered "poisonous", people cut them down to prevent cows from eating the fruit and becoming sick I had to get 3 taken out of my yard because they became so brittle dangerous -- no cows here, though!!
