I am going to do something a bit different today and post 2 photos. These birds are "Lifers" for me this year and I got lucky this past week to get both of them. These are Summer Tanagers who have been visiting my suet feeder in the evenings. Very lovely birds and I am glad to see them visit for the first time ever. I am wondering if it is because I have left my suet up longer than usual. The male is the red and the female is the lighter one as found in other birds.
Nice visitors!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim! I thought so. Haven't seen them for a few days now though.
DeleteGreat captures. If I saw that male Summer Tanagers from a distance, I'd probably mistake it for a cardinal.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you only leave this type of feeder up for part of the year?
I thought it was a very red house Finch at first. LOL Thanks much Tom. Usually I think of them only needing suet in the cold winter months for more energy.
DeleteAbsolutely great, Shelly! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot P R!
