Subject: [NEBirds] Summer Tanager catching bees
I enjoyed watching an immature Summer Tanager flying from one tree to
another and catching bees coming out of an old cottonwood in the middle!
It did this continuously for the entire time I was there - close to an
hour! This took place at the home of Bob and Cheryl Mills in Hamilton
County. I appreciated them letting me come photograph the bird catching
beese - I've attached a few photos! The bird spent 2 days catching bees at
their home and then must've had his fill and was gone!
