Mostly theyβre here in the early fall, with an occasional sighting in the summer months. I suspect they head even further south for the coldest months.
If I lived where you do, Iβd be picking up speed this time of the year too!

We have a few juveniles hanging out at a pond in Huntsville (north Alabama). Theyβre fun to watch, but mine just sit and sit! ( The turtles arenβt bothered.)

A female Summer Tanager in a tree. The bird is a dull yellow with a tan beak and gray legs.
This was a real gift today. Iβd been standing still for a while when this Summer Tanager landed just above me. She seemed as curious about me as I was about her! #birding #birds
