A Male Summer Tanager (in molt) and very disturbed by my presence has shown up. He is very late in migration. It’s been a full month since I have seen one. This sassy guy has a patch of yellow on his rosy red feathered back; taken with a Canon 7D with a Canon EF 300L IS lens with a Canon 1.4X TC. This bird surprised me – I thought a had a Northern Cardinal in my sights when ……….. surprise !!!
Looking at me
