A little stitch. 

A nice gift the other morning.

The bird never called or sang, so if I'd not been looking, I'd not have known it had flown in. 

A female Western Tanager.

Or as I say, a Banana Bird!

Bright yellow and about the size of an American Robin.

Always a special treat to see this summer visitor.

I was fortunate as the bird stayed for a bit.

And posed nicely, both front...

...and back profiles.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
