Red on the Pinnacle
I spotted this summer tanager (Piranga rubra) singing high at the top of a tall pine, far enough away that the distance and heavily overcast sky made photography a challenge. Even so, the moment felt worth capturing — and worth sharing.
If you’re captivated by summer tanagers and other members of the Cardinalidae family—better known as the cardinal family—step into my photo gallery for a visual feast. Come take a look:

Treetop Flare
This isn’t a great image, and the composition is a little clumsy, but it captures something rare for me — a male summer tanager (Piranga rubra) flittering through a treetop.

Red Witness at the Crown
An elusive male summer tanager (Piranga rubra) paused briefly atop a towering oak, its vivid plumage igniting the canopy with a flash of red.

Through the Canopy
This morning, the usual backyard birds made their rounds—cardinals, chickadees, and the occasional blue jay. At one point, I was sure I heard a woodpecker nearby and kept craning my neck to peer up into the old oak. But the tapping turned out to be my chair, issuing a kind of cackling protest every time I shifted. Still, through a narrow gap in the forest canopy, I spotted a Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra)—its red plumage glowing like a flame against the green, a quiet witness in the trees.If you’re captivated by summer tanagers and other members of the Cardinalidae family—better known as the cardinal family—step into my photo gallery for a visual feast.

Unspoken Hue
I caught a flicker of movement in the corner of my eye and swung the lens toward a tree over 100 meters away. There, tucked among the branches, was a female summer tanager (Piranga rubra). Just two days ago, I photographed a male—this marks my third sighting of the species this year.

Red at the Crown
Finally—a male summer tanager (Piranga rubra). I’ve photographed a few females before, but this is the first male to grace my lens. He perched high atop a tall oak at the forest’s edge, just out of reach. Still, with a telescopic lens and a generous helping of megapixels, I managed a usable image or two.

Face in the Foliage
Charlie and I were sitting outside this morning when a female summer tanager (Piranga rubra) stopped in the oak tree that stands inside our fenced backyard. I took a few snaps but only managed one where her head and face were clearly visible. It occurs to me I’ve never photographed a male—he must be around somewhere.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Sunlit Tanager
When I first took this photograph, I thought I’d spotted my first goldfinch since spring. I was ready to write about changing seasons and the stirrings of migration. But I was off base—despite the early signs of falling leaves, this visitor wasn’t a goldfinch at all. I believe she’s a female Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra), though a Scarlet Tanager (Piranga olivacea) is another possibility. Her wings aren’t visible, but Summer Tanagers tend to wear a brighter yellow than their scarlet cousins. She stopped by just briefly this morning, a quiet flash of color in the shifting light.

Roughleaf Dogwood (Cornus drummondii), a common shrub #native to the central US that can grow from seed or from root sprouts. The abundant fruits in late summer/early autumn are a terrific source of carbohydrates for migrating #birds seeking #fruits to help fatten up for #migration. Today I noticed a #SummerTanager using its #hover #gleaning behavior to pluck the fruits. That's one more satisfied customer, bulking up for its impending sojourn to #Peru!

Not a goldfinch.
This morning, when I took this photograph, my initial thought was that it was the first goldfinch I've seen since Spring. I was going to write about seasons changing and birds starting to migrate. But I was off base, though I saw leaves starting to fall. I think this is a female Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra) though scarlet tanager (Piranga olivacea) is another possibility. The wings aren't visible, but summer tanagers are a brighter yellow than the scarlets. She briefly visited this morning.
"The Summer Tanager is a bee and wasp specialist. It catches these insects in flight and kills them by beating them against a branch. Before eating a bee, the tanager rubs it on the branch to remove the stinger. Summer Tanagers eat larvae, too: first they get rid of the adults, and then they tear open the nest to get the grubs." - allaboutbirds.org

Think fast. ⚾
The consensus among my Mastodon friends, is that this is probably a female or juvenile Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra). So, keep that in mind as you read the below paragraph. I'm convinced and will file it as a summer tanager.
This post has nothing to do with baseball. The dogs and I were on our walk yesterday, and this bird was flittering around the edge of the forest. I just had enough time to lift my camera and focus. The camera took two photographs, but the bird was already moving. It didn't go far, just enough to hide behind the tree leaves preventing me from getting a better photo. I'm pretty sure this is a yellow warbler though it is hard to be certain given the angle of the photos. I'm filing it under yellow warbler unless someone else can make a more definitive identification that is not a yellow warbler.
