Summer tanager although it was acting just like a flycatcher. It was in an area where the flycatcher were sitting low in the trees and flying short distances to catch the insects. The summer tanager was doing the same thing. Sorry for the quality of the pic's, but, couldn't get any closer without the tanager flying away

 

Summer Tanager it is.

Another vote for Summer Tanager.

Please don't apologize for those pics, rap, I think they are great.  I love the pics that capture the wing motion of the birds. I bet you're wishing you'd had a video camera too!!

I once saw a summer tanager fly to my front porch, hover in front of a spider web, and pluck the spider right out of the center of the web. I wished I had a video camera then! It was cool to watch but over in an instant!

If those pics aren't good, what am I supposed to be?

Thanks for the vote of confidence about the pic's. I was using my 70-300mm lens and just couldn't get any closer to the subject.
