Scarlet Tanager

Yesterday evening I was walking along the river in downtown Minneapolis, by St. Anthony falls when a bird caught my eye.  It was a bright red and black bird.  I am not an ornithologist, but I am aware of some birds.  I know scarlet tanagers are in our area, but I have never seen one.  I wanted to get a picture, Unfortunately every time I got close to it's location it flew to the next tree.  I did have time to compare to pictures on my phone I know it was a scarlet tanager.  The bright red color is  amazing to see.
