Western Tanager in Pueblo Jan 2nd

[Brandon]

Chris Knight and I were birding along the Arkansas River, near the Pueblo West pit, Pueblo County early this afternoon, and we were shocked to find a WESTERN TANAGER.  This would be the 1st sighting in the Pueblo Area, during the winter season.  I was able to get photos.  It could have been the same bird, seen in this area, back in November, though it hasn't been seen for a while, if it is the same bird.

Hi Brandon

I was just forwarded this article perhaps "it is to blame" for the tanager ;-)
