On Tuesday morning, we had a very quick look at either a Western or a Summer tanager, as it visited our feeders. We were so startled by it that we both missed ID points that would rule out 1 or the other, and, despite watching the feeders for the next couple of hours, we didn't see a repeat visit.
My impression was of a bright yellow bird with a scarlet red head and tanager bill, but I missed whether it had wingbars. Paul said the yellow was more of a dull color, and the red went down into it's nape and breast. So, no specific ID, but sure was neat to see! Holly and Paul Peirson Columbus, Anoka Co.
