Hi,
My husband says that there are several western tanagers coming to the
feeders between 5:30 and 6:00am
Do they eat at feeders?
What can I give them?
Also identification question. Seen just the one bird for a couple seconds,
extremely shy a little smaller and thinner than most female red winged
blackbird, no markings, very dark gray slightly brownish maybe, black beak.
I do have one runt female red winged balckbird about the same size as this
bird who is shy, but she is brown and has markings.
My best guess is a cowbird or catbird
