Subject: Summer Tanager in Astoria (late report)

I just received a photograph in the mail from Bucky Barnett
which can be found at:

He called me weeks ago with what he described then as an aberrant yellow
House Finch. His film came back and he mailed me a photograph...
It looks to me like a first summer SUMMER TANAGER, but I'm interested
in other opinions.

The bird was at his feeder for four days in the first week of July,
returned for two days about a week ago. He promises to call me
if it returns again.

Mike Patterson Alas, to wear the mantle of Galileo,
Astoria, OR it is not enough to be persecuted
celata at pacifier.com by an unkind establishment,
you must also be right.
