[Birdtalk] red bird

[Rosemary Fasselin]

I am brand new to birding (don't even have a guide yet) and I'm so happy to
have found this mailing list!  Anyways, I do some work on the Legacy Nature
Preserve (west of Legacy Parkway) and yesterday I saw a huge barn owl fly
away from my working companions, 2 red tailed hawks and 2 bald eagles who
were sitting around for hours.  I also saw a small red bird perched on a
willow stem by the river.  I've never seen anything like it -- the sun was
hitting him and he looked almost neon.  I think he had gray or black wings,
but the rest of him was bright red.  Can anyone help me identify him?
Sorry, but I didn't have my camera with me.
