Western Tanager

Piranga ludoviciana - Fairly common in Douglas fir, spruce, pine and aspen forests. We have hundreds of 100-foot tall Douglas firs on our eleven acres. Song is Robin-like, but hoarse with a pause after each phrase. Call is pit-ik or pit-er-ik. A flock of these colorful birds arrived one day for food and drink at our feeding station and then left for the Douglas fir trees. They are beautifully colored birds.
