A female Summer Tanager appeared at the feeders outside my office in Bangor, Maine (USA) on Monday, 1 December. The Summer Tanager's range is normally no further north than New Jersey, and they normally are in Central or South America in winter. She stayed for several days before disappearing soon after a heavy snowstorm last Saturday.
Wow, great find!
I'm curious....Never saw a tanager at a feeder. What was it eating?

Must have been a big crowd-puller! I guess lots of ME birders will have come to see it?
