Bird Notes by Dorothy Tompkins – Summer Tanager

Posted by ppeery on June 11th, 2010

A Summer Tanager is singing from trees (mostly white oak) around our house on Hightop Drive at Bundoran Farm .   The song is richer and sweeter than the more common Scarlet Tanager.   I heard and saw one off of Hightop Drive last year, so Bundoran Farm is fortunate to be a site they like.  The Summer Tanager is bright red, our only completely red bird.  You can hear the song at http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Summer_Tanager/sounds
