    Do we have any Birders on the Forum?

    I was sitting here this morning in my DR in NNY way north of Syracuse and saw what I first thought was a Cardinal but quickly realized was a Taniger. The problem is that with the help of Goggle image, I have identified it as a Summer Tanager which should not be here vs. A Scarlet Tanager which, while rarely seen, do range into this area.
    Can a Summer Tanager ( male) be this far north? If so is he doomed if the weather doesn't break real soon?

    Not a birder. I would expect birds's instincts draw them to climates they can live in.

    This is not intended to derail but I frequently see evidence of a half-blind Twit.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Not a birder, but I did sit outside this morning with my coffee and a pair of binoculars. Watched a couple of competing woodpeckers for a while. Was hoping to see a raptor of some kind, but no luck. The turkey vultures are back, which pleases me, they are magnificent flyers. Maybe I am a birder, lol.

    They are impressive in the air. But up close they are ugly birds!

    My wife and son have now seen the bird but it is wicked camera shy. Maybe it will head south after this weekend.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Turkeys aren't generally considered beautiful up close either, but Ben Franklin wanted them to be the national bird, instead of the bald eagle.
