HI Everyone,
I had less than a minute to see a female Western Tanager in my backyard before it flew east. It was what Sibley calls a "bright female." Beautiful bird with an orangy bill, and yellow and white wing-bars. Fortunately I had my camera nearby. They were on the Notable Misses list from the CBC, and while I know a few have been seen, I can say that we have never before seen one in our yard in winter. Links to photos below. I hope it stops by again.
