A male Western Tanager, the first I've seen this season (and have not read of a FOS on COBirds yet this year, perhaps overlooked among the many posts), appeared at my thistle, sunflower chips, and suet feeders yesterday during the storm and has returned twice today so far. I am in the Colorado Tech Center in E. Louisville. He inspected all three feeders yesterday and did not appear to be successful in obtaining much of anything, though today he has concentrated entirely on the suet and appeared to get a decent return for his short-lived efforts. He appeared awkward at the task, and left as soon as one of the Grackles neared the feeder. I was happy to see him again today as I feared with the lack of winged insect goodies he might not be able to harness the energy to make it through last night's freeze. My fears appear to have been unfounded, happily. Up close views as the feeders are right outside my ground level office window. Handsome fellow.
