Well this bird must not like me or something. I guess Bill Whan and
Brad Sparks had the WESTERN TANAGER at 2:30-ish. But it was long gone
when I got there around 3:10. I was there with Jason Larson, Jim Fry,
Levi Hoestedler, Craig, Jon Lennon, and some others and we all waited
till dark (5:15ish) at the corner where it had been seen and nothing
happened. Big bummer, this is the second time I just barely missed it.
Oh well, I'm glad others got to see it. But I still think Bill scared
it off.... Just kidding Bill.
       It was good to talk to some of the neighbors and they seemed
enthusiastic about this rare bird being in their yards. The woman with
the stone stacked hillside and evergreens in her yard said we were
welcome to walk along the side of her house to peak at her feeders she
put out some "cherry cobbler" birdseed for hopes. Still make sure you
maintain as low a profile as possible and try to be courteous of the
home owners etc.
      Just know that the bird isn't guaranteed there, thats for sure.
Good luck.
