An adult male Western Tanager in basic (winter) plumage is coming to
a feeder at the home of Val Kirwan, 4456 Noel Crescent, Val Therese,
Ontario. It has been there over a week, spending most of the day to
feed on crushed hulled sunflower seeds only leaving for a short while
every 15 to 20 minutes.
Val is pleased to welcome visitors. The best place to see the bird is
to come up driveway to the shed, and stand in the walkway between the
shed and the house to the left. The tanager comes to seed on an old
green rectangular patio table. Lots of Evening Grosbeaks also feeding there.
Val has sent photos, which will be forwarded to the OBRC and to the
OFO website. Please use Google maps to find 4456 Noel Crescent in the
little town of Val Therese northeast of Sudbury. Val's phone number
is 705-969-7215
Thanks to Erwin Meissner of Massey who called us about this bird.
