Western Tanager #Birds #WingsOnWednesday

We’re heading back to Idaho in early June to meet a new grandson, who should arrive a couple of before weeks we get there (if he’s not, Lynn will probably have some harsh words for him.)  In anticipation of the upcoming trip, I thought of the many Western Tanagers we saw while out there last year about the same time.  Apparently the tanagers hanging around last year was due to the unusually late spring; too cold to move on to their normal summer territory.  I don’t expect the same good fortune this year, and am grateful for last year’s opportunity.  Here are a few photos.
