Yes, I had similar action in our hackberries here in the yard (coincidentally
just a few miles from Jan's house). But that Summer tanager must be a late
bird!Hackberries, though generally considered nasty trees, seem to have a
plethora of insect prey every fall; I find kinglets, red-breasted nuthatches,
and straggler warbler species really have a smorgasbord of dining opportunities.

I went back out to my backyard late this afternoon to see if all those
species I had yesterday had come back. Sure enough, almost all
the same ones were there, plus a Nashville Warbler, Bay-breasted, Summer
Tanager
and my first Red-breasted Nuthatch of the season. Almost all of
yesterday's and today's birds were in my hackberry trees. Fun!
