Western Tanager


This Western Tanager recently showed up in Western New York State!  Maybe he took a wrong turn or was blown off course by storms in the midwest.  This beautiful vagrant is WAY out of its normal range by well over 1,000 miles.  At least he is eating well. In the photo below he is seen with suet on his beak from a backyard feeder in Irving, New York.
