[TN-Bird] Summer Tanager sightings

Birding is very good on the south side of Old Hickory Lake with large numbers 
of Yellow Rump/Myrtle warblers.  Some references say they have interbred.  
After trailing another Summer Tanager yesterday (this one had more red on the 
back and head but still in spring colors) for about a half hour to get a 
positive identification I went back to my home to do some gardening.  Just then 
a Summer Tanager landed in the tree next to the garden and serenaded me.  I 
have seen several more this morning.  I am wondering why I have not seem them 
in the past. Also I saw about a half dozen Wood Thrush gathering worms in the 
trees.
