Subject: [Tweeters] Western Tanager in my Olympia Backyard

Hey Everyone,

At about 7pm this evening, I happened to look out of my upstairs window at
my madrone tree, which is currently blooming. To my elation I saw, maybe 7
feet away from me, lazily hopping from branch to branch, a male western
tanager, replete with his small shock of red head feathers. I have only seen
tanagers the other side of the Cascades before, though I have only been a
birder for a couple of years now. He stayed with us for about 5 minutes
before flapping off to an adjacent cedar tree in our yard.

This about made my week
