Trying to keep track of records, I'd be delighted to know the last time anyone saw the western tanager in Grandview Hts., Franklin Co. The last report I have comes from Dec 20---please drop me a line if you definitely saw this bird after that time, and on what date. This has been a great year for western tanagers in the east. In Dec-Jan, fourteen others were reported in ten states and one province. Just recently on 26 Jan, one of the two birds in New Jersey was found dead, and thought to be a victim of cold weather. Such a fate may befall our bird as well, but even so we'd like to know how long it lasted. Thanks for any info, Bill Whan Columbus ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
