There's so...What's the deal with that bird?<br />There's something very mysterious about it. Even when people hang out at the blinds and feeder stations in southeast AZ and get up-close shots, it still seldom seems properly crushed, relative to its commonness. <br /><br />This needs to be remedied.Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-34272778446641763972014-05-26T05:00:31.219-07:002014-05-26T05:00:31.219-07:00I have to admit I was a bit disheartened to come b...I have to admit I was a bit disheartened to come back without any usable shouts of Western Tanager. thismachinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08072033666703203316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-45949647296233502014-05-25T23:01:25.074-07:002014-05-25T23:01:25.074-07:00That peregrinating bastard!

We've had many of both of these tanagers pop up this spring around the state (not that I've seen), conforming to an overall trend of more western vagrants than normal this year.
