The summer tanager (Piranga rubra) is a secretive songbird of the treetops. It was first described in the scientific literature by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 and initially placed in the Tanager family (Thraupidae). It is now classified in the Cardinal family (Cardinalidae) because its plumage and vocalizations are similar to other members of the Cardinal family.
