I kept hearing this beautiful song coming from the tops of the trees. Could not see the bird(s) and had no idea what they were.
Much to my delight one decided to come down from the heights.
I believe this is a juvenile Summer Tanager. My first time seeing this beauty and hearing its beautiful song.
Also was visited by the beautiful male Gold Finch.
Hi Birdie. Nice to see your images, love the bold color. I have heard of the Summer Tanager before but never seen one. Love the red & green and yellow & green color combos.

These are lovely Roberta. You sound like you are enjoying all the new to you birds in your home state.

Thanks Morris. Funny how one gets use to certain subjects and feels comfortable with them. Now, I am out of my comfort zone and learning about all the new things and the challenges they bring.
