Yesterday you saw the rare Southwest Hepatic Tanager. You can see other types of Tanagers all over the US. The Summer Tanager lives everywhere east of the Cascades as does the Scarlet Tanager. The most common Tanager also lives here in the Northwest- the Western Tanager. This one on our feeder is either a female in full breeding colors, or a male that is turning. Unlike other types of male Tanagers, only the head turns red rather than the whole bird.
