Today in the yard I have the Summer Tanager. I see them every year, but never the male, just females. I have a couple in the privet outside my bed room window. One reason I just see females may be I have so many Cardinals, males are not attracting my attention when one shows. The males are red all over.
Here is a photo (not mine but I have some somewhere).
This is a large bird with a big beak. They eat bees and wasps and most insects. They Winter into Central and South America. Most times I see them toward Fall, don't know if they are moving through, but I have seen them in mid Summer some years.
