Western Tanager - no, Red-winged Blackbird - yes

 January 29, 2024


The tanager was seen by many in the morning, so we decided to give it a try after lunch.  We opted not to wear our grippers, which was a mistake.  The trail was treacherous, but we were ok.  There were about 6 of us at the stakeout when Aaron arrived to service the feeders.  We waited 1.5 h, but our target was done for the day.  Barbara went for a short walk and saw 3 Red-winged Blackbirds fly over and land in a distant tree.  These are unusual winter visitors.
