Subject: Western Tanager???
will try this again -- post WITH pic didn't go through so will try without pic....
Acquaintance sends me poor photo of bird at her feeder today and says it looks exactly like the Sibley picture of a Western Tanager! -- I'm not quite willing to make that call based on 1 poor pic, but does seem like WETA (and have asked for additional pics); I s'pose maybe blown in by storm!? In mid Dec. someone also reported WETA in Chapel Hill for couple of days, around same time 1 or 2 were reported on coast.Reporter lives sort of northeast Chapel Hill near Durham line (or perhaps even in Durham County?).Request the pic if you want or tell me (like I'm a 3rd grader) how to post it here. ;)
