 A male scarlet tanager has been here for a week or so, and a male summer
tanager for a few days.  They have been coexisting peacefully, but today the
summer tanager started chasing the scarlet tanager.  The scarlet would land
and the summer would take after him.  Maybe it was an inter-tanager thing,
but then the summer tanager was feeding on the ground, a catbird landed
close to him, and the tanager went after the catbird.  Must be a ticked-off
tanager.  The catbird backed off.
