Birders, This morning, I observed a Summer Tanager at Mt. Ayr Wildlife Area in Ringgold county. The bird was giving its signature "pit-ti-tuck" call and later came out to allow me to further confirm the identification. This is the first of this species I have seen this summer/fall. This seemed to me to be a bit late for this guy, but the IOU webpage states that late dates are in late November and early December. I guess I was mistaken...
