[Birdtalk] Oh! What do we have here?

[Jim Lofthouse]

I think you are right Kris.  She is so gray.  That is what had me going.  I expect to see a more yellow bird for the female of this species.  Like this one:

This is an autumn bird though, and I am wondering if they appear more gray in the nesting season?  

Thanks.

Jim

  Jim,

  I'd say you've got a female Western Tanager.
