Bird Watching: Tanagers and Hummers!, 1 by Hineni

Yay! I didn't even know what a Tanager was until I looked it up last night. We had a small flock of new-to-us birds alight in one of our trees. The red (I think it's a Scarlet Tanager) caught our eye but when I looked at the photo later (sorry, not the best, we were rushing!) I saw a small green bird - female maybe?

And our hummers have arrived...yippee! I saw 3 yesterday, although the male ruby throat is dead set against sharing any of the 3 feeders that I *thought* I placed far enough apart to give everyone their own space :( But I can't stay mad, cuz they are just too darn cute! I'll try to get some pics of the hummers this weekend, but here is our tentative ID'd Scarlet Tanager and friend....friend is in the lower right-hand portion of the pic.
