The quality is obviously poor, so far it's the best I've been able to get of either of these. They are skittish, and often the yellow and red are together as in this photo. From this photo, can you tell me what they are?
Thanks in advance!

Summer Tanagers I think.
Some kind of Tanager.

Yes, I think Summer Tanager is right. The red one is the male and the yellow one is the female.

Let me quell all doubt Janet and say with 100% certainty that you've done a marvelous job of capturing both male and female Summer Tanagers in the same frame. IQ aside, that's no mean feat in and of itself....congrats!

Cool! Thank you all very much for the ID and encouragement!!

I've just been dabbling in backyard birding but I am addicted. Hopefully, I'll be upgrading to a lens with better quality and longer reach very soon.

Not bad for your longest lens being 135mm
