Yes. Tanagers are in the family Thraupidae, and includes the summer tanager, scarlet tanager, and western tanager.There are 191 species in this family worldwide. All are brightly colored birds, mainly in the males, females are more cryptic in coloration. These birds are insectivores, and are especially fond of caterpillars and wasps.
The Scarlet Tanager has adaptations such as its bright red plumage for mating and camouflage, a cone-shaped bill for eating fruits and insects, and strong legs for perching and moving through the forest canopy efficiently. It also has keen eyesight and hearing to help detect predators and locate food.
Certain birds are referred to as firebirds sometimes. Some of these include the Baltimore Oriole, Scarlet Tanager and the Vermilion Flycatcher.
