[Birdtalk] Western Tanagers like jelly! Yard Bird

[Brenda Kidman]

Hello Everyone,

Last night we had a WESTERN TANAGER visit our yard.  He was particularly
enthralled with the jelly feeder.  I had just (over) filled it and he
couldn't quite decide the best way to approach it.

All pictures were taken by my lovely husband through the screen door so the
clarity is not super, but they are worth a look.

Our PINE SISKINS are back.  The EVENING GROSBEAK brought a lady friend (and
isn't she dull looking compared to him!)

There are just so many.  Every day we see a new bird. It has been quite
amazing.

Enjoy the photos.

The Western Tanager learning from an Oriole.  The Orioles were not thrilled
about sharing.

How do I get there though?

We are hoping he will stick around.  I have emptied a bit of the jelly out
to facilitate the ease of eating.
