Western Tanager

[Kathryn Davis]

I was able to see the rare female Western Tanager today which has been seen for some time now at a private residence next to the Cliff House in York County.  Originally, it was spotted sitting in the brambles facing the sun.  Periodically, it would fly to a bird feeder and then back into the brambles.  Bright orange bill was very visible.   Thanks to E.J., the home owner, for letting us come and see the bird.
