Summer Tanager
This is the Summer Tanager – the Fiery Songster of North American Forests
With its vibrant red plumage, the male Summer Tanager lights up deciduous forests across the southern U.S. and Mexico during summer. The female, dressed in sunny yellow, blends perfectly into leafy canopies.
Known for its sweet, melodic songs and bold hunting style, this bird specializes in catching bees and wasps midair — fearless and precise. It plays a crucial role controlling insect populations, helping keep forests healthy.
Bright, brave, and full of song, the Summer Tanager is a flash of color and life that marks the arrival of warm seasons.
