Hi Shantanu! I live in Felton and actually reported a pair of breeding
western tanagers at my house a few years back. I actually lucked out and
saw them feeding their babies a couple years in a row (assuming they were
same pair). I love those little birds, a kid I was teaching spotted one at
Neary Lagoon and called it the "sunset bird"!
