Dickcissel (male)
Dickcissel (female
Blue Grosbeak
I saw the bird below in a tree, He was high up in the shade, so I've lightened the photo to see him better. According to my Merlin Bird ID app, this seems to be a juvenile Summer Tanager. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not this is correct?
Confirmation: This is a Summer Tanager in transitional plumage. Thanks David!

ReplyDeleteYep...the only red tanagers are summer & scarlet. Summer is more elongated with light beak. The scarlet tanager is more compact & black beak.
