Hello,
Just came home from an evening out and my parents showed me pictures of a
Summer Tanager that had been coming to the suet feeder in our yard this
evening. It is an immature male with a good amount of yellow still in the
plumage. Our yard backs out on to Westminister Ponds in London, Ontario. I
will update if the bird sticks around, but if you wish to look for the bird
at the Ponds, I would recommend trying the area at the top of the large
wooden stairs that are accessed by the field behind Tim Hortons on
Commissioner's Road. We are located in the clearing at the top of those
stairs. Earlier this morning, I had 4 Scarlet Tanagers, Northern Parula,
Orange-Crowned Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler and about 10 other species of
Warbler in the same location just behind my yard.
The following 3 pictures are the best that my parents grabbed and the
fourth is one of the Scarlet Tanagers for comparison (hopefully the links
work, if not, let me know):
