Index of Subjects Hello all, As part of the Christmas bird count my role was to look for birds at the Fairview dump and Seaview Park... My friend who was partnering me was sure that he saw a Western Tanager. I wasn't swearing to anything but the wing bars had two stripes and just maybe it was an oriole.. That's why it didn't go into the bird count. By the way anyone heading for the dump, you will find the gates locked on the weekends.Heather Drope From: "Terri Crane" <terri.crane@ns.sympatico.ca> To: <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Tanager Date sent: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 10:56:44 -0400 Send reply to: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Western Tanager is a candidate.BUT If the looks were not greator as you said it's a novice Don't rule out those some times confusing Over wintering Oriols. Hope this helps Tom K. Canso Hello, hello... Through a friend of a friend... they saw the Tanager in South End Hfx on Sunday. However, they claim it had wing bars. Having not seen this bird... is there anything about its winter colours that may make it look like wing bars?! I know its been solidly identified as a Summer, so this could just be a novices mistake. But... never hurts to ask. Cheers for now, Ann M. Halifax
