Bird people, HELP! I saw a new (to me) bird and I don't know what it is. I was standing with the back door to the lanai partly open so I could take photos of the bird feeder without the screen in the way. Then, something landed in the oak branch right above me. And it nicely posed for pictures. I love the color! I'm looking through my book and I think the closest is the female Summer Tanager, but I'm still not convinced the eyes and the beak are correct. Here are all the pictures I took of it. FYI, I have not seen it on or under the feeder.
