First off, some little miscellanea from this morning, Friday, the adult lesser black-backed Gull continued at pond 22 off the end of 13th Street and there was a female type summer tanager in the Bird & Butterfly garden.
Over the past few days, most reports of the Scarlet Tanager at Wing Street Canyon either have included no photos or photos that don't show a lot of detail, including none of the full Wing. Today I am seeing at least one photo as well as people mentioning a bird that has black wings, but it has a big yellow wedge on the lesser coverts, which means it's not a pure Scarlet tanager. Would really help if there were more clear photos of the bird or two birds that are there, but recall that there was a very strange tanager there last spring which people wondered if it was a Scarlet X Western hybrid.
