Asking for ID help from the birders here

Last edited Sun Apr 30, 2017, 05:53 PM - Edit history (1)

The last few days I have seen a couple new birds. One I id'ed as a summer tanager. The other one I think is a female painted bunting. It has a yellow belly, the top seems to have more of a green tint to it, and some black on the wings. I didn't get a real good look at the beak. It has been going to the suet and the beak most of the time has been away from me. I live in Conroe Texas so we are in the summer breeding range. Just wondering if there might be any other bird I should look at as a possibility?



Edit: Just figured it out. When I first looked up the summer tanager I just hit the images and they showed the male. When I went to all about birds I saw it was the female summer tanager. So I have a pair flying around here.
