The daily feeder watch routine was broken Sunday, February 10th approx 1030
by the sudden appearance of a Western Tanager. Fortunately, I had the
digital camera from work and the presence of my partner to go through the
identification process. Since then the bird shows up early each morning.
The bird appears healthy, alert, active, bright and possesses a very healthy
appetite.

Many, many thanks to Thais Bock and Dennis Paulson for their help in
confirming this early arrival.
