The male is not shy at all! Every morning and every evening he can be found following us to our garden where he chooses a tree where he can watch and sing to us. The female is a bit more shy but I was able to see her last night in a bird bath from about ten feet away.shellbellzm250https://www.blogger.com/profile/17394235745331342387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338318699173170470.post-81209170968683006692011-06-15T15:58:00.841-05:002011-06-15T15:58:00.841-05:00Summer Tanager just flew right by my head and land...Summer Tanager just flew right by my head and landed in the shrubs by my front door. Turned it's head from side to side as I told him how lovely he was. Almost think we would have come in the house with me if I'd offered him some nice cool air to rest in. Austin, Tx.

We live on Lake Tillery in Moutn Gilead , NC and the bird pecks on our windows continuously. I put up bird netting over the windows but it didn't stop. It is the most annoying little creature ever! Yesterday we saw the female for the first time. Any ideas on how to get them to leave?Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961454185848460461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338318699173170470.post-27678740022132782062011-05-15T16:58:14.820-05:002011-05-15T16:58:14.820-05:00we have them in our front yard in jarvisburg ncwe have them in our front yard in jarvisburg ncdixieangeljenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979617248114420470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338318699173170470.post-10374840346737075912011-05-14T09:36:24.478-05:002011-05-14T09:36:24.478-05:00I was looking at my bee hives this morning and saw...I was looking at my bee hives this morning and saw a red bird that I thought was a cardinal at first.
