A first-spring male Summer Tanager spent at least 10 minutes in my backyard this evening. Before going into the apple blossoms, it spent a moment or two on the dish-style hummingbird feeder, making it a new feeder bird as well as new yard bird. Hmmm, yesterday at 6 pm the Sandhill Crane flew over, just a few miles from here. Today at 6 pm the Summer Tanager appeared in my yard. I wonder what 6 pm tomorrow will bring?
