Western Tanager

May 2011 – Shore Acres State Park, OR

Another mediocre photo of a female Western Tanager. Shore Acres is a great place to see birds. There are a number of habitats in the park, plenty of places to sneak-up on the birds, and a lot of open space in an otherwise pretty brushy landscape.

May 2010 – Hell’s Canyon, OR

Not a great photo… but it is a female Western Tanager. About mid-elevation in the canyon in the springtime.
