SUMMER TANAGER Juvenile Male Piranga rubra. A molting juvenile male Summer Tanager was discovered eating a ripe Strangler Fig fruit Ficus sp. along the Vía Cunuco about one mile north of Mindo in northwestern Ecuador at 9:43 AM on January 9, 2017.

The Summer Tanager is a migratory species, nesting in the United States and northern Mexico and wintering from Mexico south to western Amazonian Brazil and northern Bolivia. Formerly placed in the family Thraupidae, the Piranga species are now placed in the family Cardinalidae.
