We stopped this morning in Thunder Bay to try to find a reported Summer Tanager coming to someones side yard feeder. We had great luck when upon speaking with the homeowner this beautiful male appeared as if by magic right in front of us! I certainly didn't think my first Summer Tanager of the year would be in Thunder Bay at the end of October! This is a species much more common in the southern US and should be on its way to wintering grounds in the tropics!
I also had the pleasure of seeing some western birds (Black-billed Magpies) and northern species (Black-backed Woodpecker) on our way to Kenora today. An eclectic collection of birds indeed! Tomorrow he head north again, to Caribou Falls.
