Hi all, Unable to run out this afternoon myself, but I thought I'd get it out on the email lists. Hopefully someone can confirm this report to eBird.
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32680773 "1 Western Tanager Initially heard a familiar call that I was ready to pass off as a HOSP. But it really sounded different, making a "pir-u-ket" call, and I ended finding a medium-sized bird (smaller than a robin, larger than a Zonotrichia). It was all yellow beneath, had a large pinkish bill, dark wings with visible white WINGBARS. Photos obtained (albeit crappy but identifiable)." good luck and please do share any sighting to the email lists, as well as the local Twitter allert #birdcp if you use twitter, Happy Thanksgiving, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
