Observation details
Well I sure didn’t expect that! Arrived at the stakeout alone to 11 kt winds coming in off the sea so strong the feeders were swinging and thought yeah well that’s that on this chase but figured I might as well stay a few just in case. Didn’t hear or see a single bird until a junco in the bush right of the freestanding feeder flew over, gave an angry call, and started attacking the Summer Tanager. Watched the Summer Tanager agitatedly flit around the bush for a while calling loudly (recording taken) before flying off towards the bushes along the shoreline to the NE. Didn’t follow as didn’t want to overextended invitation of home owners.
