I have one that comes to my house multiple times a day and yells and yells until I come out and sing to him and talk and then he devours food gron my feeder. 🤗 Do they commonly want to interact with humans?? This one is becoming my very close friend. Haha
We finally figured out what these are…we are familiar with the mature meadow singers here in Iowa, but have never had one at the feeders. (We had quite the argument trying to figure out if a white shouldered tanager had been blown off course.) I’m so glad I found this thread.
One visited my feeder today. All black with white wing bar. Cleveland Ohio. 5/19/2020
The females have been at my feeder constantly this past few weeks. Now I know why!
Had about 20 of these in our yard this morning, below our bird feeder. We see these every year about this time, but weren’t sure what they were. Noblesville, In.
I have about seven of these at my feeder this morning. In Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. I’ve never seen any young ones. Their red is not as bright as the fully mature ones.
