Deja vu? Western Tanager! (again)

When I heard from Ali that there was a Western Tanager visiting a feeder in Durham, I couldn't resist going to see it.

Western Tanager in Durham!

This one was a female, so not quite as pretty as the one down in Pinehurst from last month, but it is the first one documented in Durham County.  Pretty Cool!

These birds don't linger on the feeder and shooting through a window on a low-light cloudy morning makes it tough to get a crisp photo.

Cloaca!

See you later!

I wonder when it might migrate west?

A big thanks to Della Zimmerman and her mother for hosting!
