I noticed a male Scarlet Tanager with a white tail feather today. It
appeared to be the central feather, viewed from above, and was fully grown
in. He was on the suet cage, then flew to a small platform feeder and ate a
mealworm, then flew to the other platform feeder before he flew off. That's
the first time I've seen a Tanager on one of my 2 platform feeders, and the
first time I've seen one eat anything but suet at a feeder. I could pick out
the white feather as he flew around from place to place.
