Species: Western Tanager
Most recent capture date: 9/1/2021
Age: less than six months old

Notes: A species we usually only get at CCFS every 5-10 years suddenly showed up in force this year, with three first-year birds caught in two days! Big birds with big, notched bills, even the young ones are startlingly bright yellow. I hope they return in a few years so we can admire them in their glorious adult plumage.
