A bird enthusiast in central P.E.I. made just the fifth-ever recorded sighting of a summer tanager on the Island this week.

Waldron Heffel of South Freetown, east of Summerside, called conservation experts at Holland College when he spotted the bird.

"It's quite rare, probably won't see that again," said Heffel. "Might be around again though, you never know."

Holland College conservation instructor Dwaine Oakley was able to take pictures of the bird. He took two of his students along with him. They believe it was a juvenile bird that started north on its fall migration instead of south.
