Hi all,
With only a couple hours available today for birding, I thought I would
give the male Western Tanager a try that was reported yesterday at the
Lionâs Den in Ozaukee County. I arrived at 5:15 am with heavy fog and very
little light. The images show that. After about 30 minutes walking along
the bluff and different areas areas, I spotted the Western Tanager on a
bluff trail. This species is well out out of itâs normal range. A male
Scarlet Tanager was usually within the area of the Western Tanager. They
both actively feed while I was present for a few minutes I was there as I
had to head back home. A cool life bird that I did not have on my life life
for Wisconsin yet. Life bird #339 for the state. A gloomy early morning at
the park with heavy fog, with very little light but temps where mild, so
that was a good thing. Thanks to the finder of this bird and for those who
got the word out for others to see it.
A few images of the Western Tanager from early this morning at the link
below if you care to view them:

Thanks and good birding,
