Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra) (1)
- Reported Apr 07, 2024 09:04 by Andrew McGrath
- Maria Ygnacio Creek--north of US 101, Santa Barbara, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.8033118&<ll...>,-119.8033118 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S167570334 - Media: 1 Audio
- Comments: "Heard calling for ~1 minute in eucalyptus on east side of MY Creek opposite Patterson Open Space Park. Merlin ID'd as summer tanager and Jamie C agreed (via Slack). I was only experienced with the two-note 'pit-tuck' call from summer tanager(s) at Lake Los Carneros, but the pitch/quality of the sound roughly matched what I've heard from those birds.
Never saw the bird. Sounded like it was ~30-40 feet up in eucalyptus from the direction of the sun. I quickly crossed to the east side of the creek, but I could not re-locate bird by sound or sight."
