Summer Tanagers spend their winters in South America, so birdwatchers in the U.S. can expect these birds in the yard only in spring, summer, and early fall. The all-red male (left) seems a strange partner to the all-over greenish-yellow female (below left). They are unlikely to visit feeders but may come to moving water.

You’ll find many more details about where this bird spends its winter, how it finds the way there, and how it knows when it’s time to return here for breeding in Birds in the Yard Month by Month: What’s There and Why, and How to Attract Those That Aren’t.
