Description
A gorgeous Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra) perched in a Mulberry tree gorging itself after the long spring migration from Yucatan, Mexico, at Sabine Woods, Texas.
A languid song in southern woods, sounding like a lazy robin, is the voice of the Summer Tanager. Seeing the bird may require some patience, because it usually moves rather slowly in the treetops, often remaining hidden among the leaves. At times, however, it flies out conspicuously to catch flying insects in mid-air. This bird apparently has no fear of stinging insects, often raiding wasp nests and occasionally becoming a minor nuisance around beehives
