I had the opportunity to try for the Western Tanager in Waukesha County and did not pass it up. This stunning male was coming to a feeder at a private residence and today it continued. The normal range for this species is basically the dakota’s and west, also north and south of the dakota’s. A couple distant photos as the home owners had a blind set up to keep a safe distance between viewers and an area the bird was coming to in their yard. Thank you to the homeowner and all that made this opportunity happen. It was a gorgeous day with plenty of sunshine, perfect temps and little wind. Images were taken on May 21, 2020.
