This morning at 8:30, John Kuenzli, Dan Sanders, and I had exceptional looks
at the WESTERN TANAGER in Grandview Heights (right at the corner of where
Fairview curves into Merrick).  The tanager originally gave away its
presence when it arrived by giving a repeated 2-note "pick-pick" call.  The
call initially reminded me of Carolina Wren chatter.  The bird hung around
at eye-level eating honeysuckle berries for 15 to 20 minutes.



The specific location of the honeysuckle shrub is on the east side of
Fairview behind some chain-link fencing, just north of the curve with
Merrick.  As described yesterday by Casey Tucker, the bird flew to the south
heading towards the apartment high-rise off Goodale Blvd.  The location can
be reached by taking 5th Avenue to Grandview Ave.  Go south on Grandview Ave
until you get to 1st Ave.  Take a right (west) on 1st Ave and go two blocks
until you get to Fairview Ave.  Go south on Fairview, which will eventually
curve into Merrick.



Good luck everyone!
