This guy. He's been coming for the jelly every day for the past week. It makes me think he might stay for the breeding season. But until I see a female summer tanager, I won't really believe it. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #nature #tanager #HoosierMast

A short clip of an all-red male summer tanager eating jelly.

I was super excited to see multiple Western Tanagers in my yard at the same time. These are some of my favorite birds because of how brightly colored the males are.

A female Western Tanager sitting in a Western Redcedar. This bird is the same size as the male, but the body is covered in muted yellow feathers. The grey-brown wings are barely visible in this pose.
A different male Western Tanager that I believe is younger than the other. It has the same coloring as the other male, except the red feathers on its face do not extend beyond the eye and are not quite as bright.

Sunset tonight was at 846pm and that is exactly when the male summer tanager came to the jelly feeder. The house finch also likes jelly, but will visit it only in the early evening. And an unwanted visitor was eyeing the jelly feeder, too. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #raccoon #nature #tanager #finch

A male house finch (red streaks on head, rest of body brown and beige) likes the jelly also.
A raccoon spent a few hours in the tree nearest the jelly feeder, waiting for night so it could grab the contents. Hubby foiled its nefarious plan by taking the feeder in soon after sunset.

A Summer Tanager. Bird names are often misleading. 1: It won’t be summer for months. 2: This bird is in the Cardinal family, not the Tanager family. Name aside, this “Summer” “Tanager” is authentically gorgeous.

I thought this male summer tanager had come for the jelly and I was worried because there were a lot of yellow jackets around the jelly dish. I needn't have worried--it caught a yellow jacket out of the air and ate it. In other news, the yellow throated warbler (who I have heard all summer, but not seen) also returned; it is molting and the feeders offer an easy meal. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #hoosiermast #tanager #warbler #photography

The yellow throated warbler has a bright yellow throat and upper chest. The rest of the chest and the belly is white. Elsewhere, it is a light gray with black and white accents. This bird is molting, so his feathers are sticking out everywhere and in places, you can see missing feathers.
