I, too, have a summer tanager coming to my feeder. I
first saw it on November 19, saw it daily for a couple
of weeks, then only every few days. After not seeing
it for about a week it was back today (Dec. 11),
eating safflower seeds off a tray feeder. I'm hoping
it will stay for the CBC.
Also, I had an orange-crowned warbler that stayed all
winter last year---eating suet and feeding at a
hummingbird feeder. I have another orange-crowned
warbler this year feeding at the same feeders.
Probably the same bird? It sure knows its way around
the feeders in my yard.
