I just glimpsed (albeit briefly since I startled it away went I looked out the window)
what I am almost positive was either a female
or young male summer tanager at my platform black oil seed feeder.
Impression - Smaller than a robin Not as "bulky" as an oriole. but similar in size.
and orangish and yellowy/green/olive cast to the feathers. NO black at all on the wings.
Pointy sharp beak
What it was not - a finch of any sort.
Has anyone else seen a summer tanager in Auburn?
Is a summer tanager a possibility? What do you think?
Best Regards,
Roberta Lane
