Notes: Western Tanagers are a rare, exciting catch for us. On May 7th, we caught one and got excited – and then caught five more! All were male, some first-years like this fellow distinguishable by their comparatively dull plumage, and some more vibrant older birds. This is the only time in the history of CCFS that six Western Tanagers have been caught in a single day.
