Around noon today Randy Dougherty noticed a Western Tanager on the feeders at his Hamlin Lake home. Word of the discover got to me through a text from Brian Brosky. Traveling from different parts of the county Brian and I arrived at the same time at Randy's house. Though not initially present it showed up a few minutes later just as the Wilson brothers got on site.
This is only the second recorded visit to Mason County for this species.
Cool Bird even unusual here in CA--Even better a no doubter ID being a male
ReplyDeleteYeah, no flipping through the field guide necessary on this one.
