western tanager



     The western tanager that appeared at the backyard birdbath on New 
Year's Day has not been seen again by my wife and me.  I thawed out 
the bird bath at lunchtime on the days that it froze overnight, and I 
watched as much as I could both at lunch and after I got home from 
the office.  I was home Saturday afternoon, following a trip to 
Weymouth Woods in Southern Pines but no tanager.  Yesterday I had to 
reset my feeders to take care of a new squirrel problem, so anything 
unusual was probably frightened off by my activities.
     I'll keep watching but I'm not hopeful.  The squirrels forced me 
to move to the back burner my plans to set up a fruit feeder.
