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.
Hummers are thinning out and the ones left are not nearly as territorial as earlier in the season.
Thank you Pat .. It was a lot of +EV, having the control ring on the lens to adjust the EV while looking through the viewfinder with a live histogram helps, center weighted metering and just had to let the bright spots through the leaves blow out.

Ken,
Those are nice photos. I found it very difficult to photograph this bird in the dark shadows of the big trees. You nailed it.

Last photo at 1:01 PM 9-22-22 … with Yellow-rumped Warbler and Mountain Chickadees … moving around the Swan Falls park but kept returning to the trees around the small 4 vehicle parking area just past the rock wall on the left (the cliff side).
Wow! I would see this when my wife is on her way to pick up dinner and she will have the vehicle again tomorrow she has clean up laser eye surgery tomorrow at 8:20 AM she drives herself
there and back and may get home in time for me to go look for it mid day.
Details on eBird and just posted to Facebook (Idaho Bird Sightings & Discussion) but JB Peck found this at Swan Falls dam!
He says, “Yellow-throated warbler at swan falls park today at around 12:30! It was roving through the locust trees and a big catalpa towards the back of the park near the rock wall.”
