A group of intrepid birding friends decided to try for the Western Tanager today, now that the snow had finally cleared off the hilltop where the bird has been seen. Apparently it's been visiting a few different feeders in this private neighborhood for well over a month!As soon as we got out of the car, we could hear it calling. A quick look for some -- and it was gone. No pictures, so we stayed around for a longer time than we initially planned for but finally gave up and headed home. Not the most satisfying way to get a lifer or state bird but still countable. I created a stakeout Hotspot from the Scenic Overlook and Trail, which is public access and fairly close to where the bird has been seen. However you need a gate pass to enter the Village.Here's our checklist.https://ebird.org/checklist/S299021238Patty McLean and Michael Linz The Roadrunners

You might be curious about what to expect before your plants are en route.
Here are some answers to our most frequently asked questions.
When will my plants ship?
Your order contains a plant species that has been marked "pre-order." We are currently accepting pre-orders for Spring 2026 delivery. Shipping will resume on a rolling basis after the last frost date in your region passes. The oldest pre-orders ship first. You can learn more about our shipping timeframes here.
For more information, visit our Help Center.
Why can’t you ship my order right away?
For most of the country, it's too cold to plant! Our growers are in the greenhouse preparing for the Spring 2026 shipping season. Each plant species is in a different stage of growth and will make its way to you when it's safe to plant and ready to thrive in your garden.
How will I know when my plants ship?
We’ll send you a confirmation email as soon as your order is on its way! We will send shipping updates as we resume live shipping in different regions. In the meantime, you can keep an eye on your area’s current estimated shipping timeframe here.
