Excellent theme for a new birding thread, Pelle. And, an excellent start, with your Summer Tanager. I know that you will always treasure this photo and the experience, as I recall, right in your backyard.

I picked this photo of the "Mad White-eyed Vireo" which I egotistically believe is a strong competitor to the "Mad Bluebird". The photo was taken at the Patuxent Research Refuge on 4-30-11 and he really was mad ! I took it with a 500mm lens so I shouldn't have represented a real threat to him.
