Like someone else said, location would help. I went with Scarlet Tanager assuming you are in Iowa. That would be the more common bird in that case. Here's another pic of a molting scarlet tanager that's looks quite a bit like yours.

Got my first look at a little loon chick, or loonlet, riding on the back of an adult. It had only hatched the day before. The next day, after the 2nd egg did not hatch, they went out from this little lagoon to the big lake waters.
Upgraded camera lens a bit. Been resisting a big camera upgrade and told myself this was enough until I am sure this isn't just a short term hobby (I tend to have many short hobbies).
I braved the heat to take a few shots. At the end I felt just like the squirrel in that last picture.
Orchard Oriole was at Eddyville Sand Prairie. Cool spot for those that haven't been there.

I saw my first Eastern bluebird last weekend near Strawberry Point. Bigger than I thought and prettier than I thought. He was showing off for us.
I thought it died there for a bit. Didn't move for a good 15 minutes, but finally got up.
