Scarlet Tanager and suet



A male Scarlet Tanager is spending lots of time on
a suet cage that hangs from a pole in the yard, eating
a no-melt orange suet (from the Wild Bird Center).  He'll
even chase off the Downy Woodpeckers who also like
it.  Have seen Summer Tanagers eat this same suet last
year too.  Watched a female Summer Tanager dining on
a bee or wasp in a tree about 15 ft. up recently.
