Hello Tweeter!

I am an auntie eager to share the spotting of a Western tanager with my
(extremely curious, and animal loving) niece. I know that spotting a bird
in an exact/predicable location (in Seattle or Bellevue) isn't always
possible, but I just want to know if anyone has pointers on this species.
I know that western tanagers are common in Seattle this time of
year....the only one I have ever seen was in a park on Queen Anne the
first of second week of May in 2007.

Any tips are welcome:)

Thanks,

Dana
