So I have been working on the report for the Records Committee on the
Upper Sandusky Western tanager, and I am finding some interesting
information. First, a WT was in Pa for the last 5 months (Nov to
April). It left PA on April 17. A WT arrived in Toledo on April 26
(300 mile west). A WT arrives in Upper (70 miles south) on April 27.
The PA bird was starting to molt when last photographed  on April
14th. The Toledo and Upper bird were fully molted 10 days later. That
is cool whatever the real story is! I'm doing some more research. Can
the Gordon's or Rosenberg's of Toledo please e-mail me a specific
timeline or details and some pictures if possible. The e-bird pics
were good but I'm not sure if there are more or if it is OK to use
them. Thanks in advance! By the way the bird was still there today.
What a treat!

Another crazy story about all this. My friend who isn't a birder
overheard the homeowners talking about the bird at a restaurant. He
asked them about it and said he knew someone who would know what it
is. He sent me a picture of the bird. I thought he was playing a
prank. I immediately called him back. He put the homeowner on and I
got the details. The homeowners are not birders but thought they had
figured out what it was. If my friend hadnt butted in or he hadnt
contacted me. The bird would likely have remained a neighborhood
novelty instead of an Ohio record, and life bird for many. How cool!
Have a great migration.
