I got to see another Western Tanager!

A more knowledgeable birder suggested that this was either a young male or an old female because of the trace of red on the face.

And it was bright, bright yellow.

Thus my nickname - Banana Bird.

I had to take the photos through a window so they are not a clear as I might like, but I did not want to open a door and take a chance on startling the bird.

What a gift to be able to watch and enjoy this lovely summer migrant.
