This afternoon, I visited the Wallingford, Seattle home of Henry Mustin, where the Summer Tanager was seen again this morning. Tammy and Eric Bjorkman, who are doing a Washington Big Year, also were there. When the tanager didn't show up at Henry's house for awhile, Eric took a walk around and found the tanager at the feeders of a house nearby, on NE 43rd St one house from the corner of NE 43rd St and Thackeray Pl NE. The bird flew back toward Henry's house, so it's possible that it moves between the two houses.

I left a note for the homeowners on Thackeray, so I hope they won't be shocked to see some birders watching their feeders, which are easily viewed from across the street.
