Summer Tanager Enjoys Berries

The summer tanager kept me company in the berry patch as I picked black raspberries this morning.  I saw it noshing on the berries yesterday afternoon as I inspected the garden.  And I heard it's call as I picked today - but I hadn't taken the time to look for it.  Andrew came out to the garden to deliver a message and pointed out that the bird was sitting on a branch just overhead.  What a gorgeous red bird!  I invited it down, and by golly, it flew right into the berry patch, primed for a tasty fruity breakfast.
