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.
