(Entry #1) The summer tanager, piranga rubra is in the Cardinalidae family, which means, as you could most likely gather from the name, that they are related to cardinals. They are northern tanagers, in the genus Piranga. The male is entirely red, but for on the wings, where it fades into a darkish black red. The juveniles are a tan color, with a yellowish color on their chest. Red can be observed in spots. Their wings are interesting, and can have tan, black, white, and red colors. The females are supposed to be generally the same color, yet usually without/with less red.
