All,
This morning I am thinking I came across a female Summer Tanager at Kearney Mesa Community park. I have photos showing a striking yellow/orange bird with large bill, and mostly no wingbars, also picked up a mediocre recording of a downward chatter call indicative of a Summer. I’m not 100% positive in my ID as this may be a Western after all so I would love some feedback!
I saw it in the clearing here (32°48'10"N 117°09'57"W) it flew between the various trees. Here is a link to my eBird checklist with the photos and audio: https://ebird.org/checklist/S279061352
email me at <griffinrohrer...> if you would like or we can talk on this thread.
Best,
Griffin Rohrer
San Diego
