Immature Summer Tanager




Yesterday morning (6/3/24) an immature summer tanager came to our yard and rested both on the wire that holds feeders and on the mirror of Mike's truck.  Tanagers hang close to the woods, and we've never seen one pop out like this before.  It didn't seem to know what to do or where to go, so it just hung around for awhile.

Mike saw it again this morning for a few minutes while I was in the other room.  So we don't know if it may reappear or not.  But either way, this was an especially fun sighting since it is quite unusual for a summer tanager.
