A female Summer Tanager appeared daily at a backyard feeder in Norton Shores from Thanksgiving until last Thursday (Jan. 24, '19). We didn't know it was a tanager until the day before our January field trip, and the homeowners graciously invited those of us on the trip to view it from inside their house that Saturday morning.
"Goldie" was only viewable from the homeowners' back window in a private neighborhood near the Norton Branch Library. Sorry, but that made it "unchaseable". We didn't post it or report it to eBird until today.
At eBird the only other Summer Tanager report for January in Michigan was at Grand Rapids in 2012!
