further to Skip Shand's report of Western Tanager at Colonel Samuel Smith park ... I also saw a tanager around 7:45 am in the very same spot; bird had yellow sides but a red breast, rump and head, and black wings. I also did not have a camera with me but had a very good look at it. I was a loss to identify it. Obviously his tanager was seen several hours later and but no field marks were proved. This may or may not be the same bird? May be someone should shed some light on the one I saw. Hybrid?
