Western Tanager Bird Study
Last year was the first time we ever had Western tanagers at our backyard feeders. It was thrilling to see their vibrant color after such a long stretch of winter birds. I invite you to complete this study to prepare for the possible observation of a tanager in your near future.
Here’s an idea to get you started:
- YouTube video shows the tanager foraging: Western Tanager. Here’s another video of one enjoying a birdbath: Tanager in the Birdbath.
Please note that I won’t be posting the complete challenge here on the blog, but you will find the detailed challenge in the Forest Fun ebook that’s available both in the Ultimate Naturalist and Journey level memberships. Sign into your account and download the ebook for the details, more links, a coloring page, and notebook pages.
Note: An alternate or additional study this week could be the American Goldfinch or the Baltimore Oriole.
