I was on Orcas Island this weekend, near the Henderson Bird Sanctuary.
On Saturday evening a very bright bird literally caught my eye; a Western
Tanager. It got me wondering....

What *is* the flashiest bird in Western Washington/Oregon/BC? I think my
nomination is the Western Tanager. Any others?

P.S. I still haven't decided what the *orange* bird I saw about a week
ago was.
