Yesterday a small flock of brilliant Western Tanagers visited my yard
on the eastern slope of Capitol Hill. They were in the conifers,
jumping around and one flew down to my bird bath for a drink. The
males whose heads are bright red are stunning. I also have a pair of
nesting crested Jays busily foraging for construction material.

I'm new, so is this good birding for us, or just ho-hum stuff?
