Western Tanager - YES!!! - west Centennial, Arapahoe County

[kevyg...@aol.com]

Hello Fellow Birders,

 

   Last Thursday, May 9,  I reported a Western Tanager in my little townhouse yard near Holly St & Arapahoe Rd in west Centennial, based on a small blurry cell phone  photo through a window screen.  I then rescinded that ID when a pair of Bullock's Orioles showed up an hour later and I assumed the male was the same bird I'd glimpsed before and called a tanager.

 

   Just a few minutes ago a male Western Tanager was on the suet, and I'm calling it the same bird I saw last Thursday.  I got a better picture - no doubts this time.  And yes, the orioles are still around, too.

Keep Smilin',
