Thank you so much, Fyn! I hope they arrive in Maine quickly!
Nice! They should be here soon.
Sounds like a lovely day, Kathleen, especially the Western Tanager!!
Yes, it is so nice when the breeding birds return from the tropics! We have Warbling Vireo, Western Tanager and Yellow-rumped Warblers singing today here! I love Spring!
Congrats on the lifer, I've only seen one of these myself! Great photo too :)
