Re: Migrants
Hi Tom,
I think this is actually a Calliope Hummingbird based on the
short tail and complete lack of rufous in the tail or rump.

Jay, thanks for the information on the
tanager. I didn’t think about the difference in the vibrancy
of the color. I’ve never been in the right place at the right
time to observe juvenile tanagers. The sighting was a real
gift, since it dropped into the middle of the lesser goldfinch
flock and landed on the flower stalk closest to me. Was only
around for a couple of minutes.

Thanks for sharing the nice photos of the
birds. I appreciate Jay’s detailed explanation which is
interesting and informative. It’s good for me to learn how
to observe more closely. Thanks to both of you!

are thinning out and the ones left are not nearly as

Re: Migrants
Thanks for the tanager ID tip — I learn something new every day … only problem is I forget something old everyday 🙂

Still present in and near the catalpa tree when I was there from 10 AM to noon, with several other people also at the location.

Re: Migrants
Hi Tom
Yes to the Orange-crowned (mid to late Sept is peak migration timing for them) and this is an immature male tanager … age based on the combination of quite fresh feathers & the date (adults from this area migrate before molting so have worn feathers in late summer; and they also migrate almost exclusively before mid-August) – and male because of the overall brightness and the contrast between the bright yellow upper wing bar and duller, whitish lower wing bar (young females duller overall & have both wings bars pretty dull).

Had two visitors to our yard yesterday. The female western tanager was with a flock of lesser goldfinches. I believe the other is an orange crowned warbler, but would appreciate any other ideas. Viewing light and angle were not optimum.
