Finally got a western tanager this afternoon! They've been around the area for a while... lots of folks reporting sightings... and someone reported seeing one at Scriber Creek Park in Lynnwood yesterday, so I figured I'd go see if it was still there. Sure enough, about 45 minutes after I got there and picked a spot to watch, it showed up, landed in the top of a tree about 25 yards away, and gave me time for about 2 dozen shots. Even turned around to give me a look at both sides! The only other time I'd actually seen a western tanager in this area was 10 years ago in Kirkland, and it was way up in a fir tree after sunset, so I didn't get a photo. Getting this little guy today made my whole week!

Good shots of a really pretty bird. This spring seems to be a good one for warblers in our area.

Thanks, Bill! There do seem to be a lot of warblers around right now, with more tanagers than I can recall at any time in recent years.
