The Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra) is most likely a member of the Cardinalidae family, though, it is typically regarded as belonging to the Thraupidae. Therefore, the name "tananger" may not be the most accurate title for this bird. The breeding habitat is open wooded areas, especially those with oak trees, across the Southern United States. The migration range spans Central America, Mexico, and northern parts of South America. It has been witnessed in Europe, though, sightings in that region are extremely rare.
