After appearing on Saturday, Nov 25, the Cobourg female Summer Tanager was seen and photographed by several groups on the morning of Sunday Nov. 25. It was subsequently missed by everyone who tried for it and not seen at all for the rest of the day.
No one but my wife and I saw it on Monday, Nov. 26; it surprised me by coming to my feeder for 2 minutes. Several groups, including myself, have failed to locate it today. Apart from one trip to my backyard feeder, it has always been seen from the sidewalks on College Street close to Chapel Street. I suspect it hides in backyards he rest of the time and it may be going to someone's feeder. If I find out more and learn the birds habits, I shall, of course, post.
