Notes & Observations
5/24/22 – I remember the first time I experienced this bird. We were in New Braunfels to have dinner at one of our favorite restaurants and while waiting for our table, we walked down to the river and I heard the song of a bird I didn’t recognize. Merlin confirmed it as a Summer Tanager and I was elated. The very next day I ventured over to Cibolo Nature Center and we got an actual glimpse of a male and juvenile Summer Tanager for the first time. Since then, I’ve seen it a few more times on subsequent visits to Cibolo.
