Western tanager(s)

[Randy]

Hi there, I moved from Saskatoon to Langley last week and thought I would explore the area I live in and get acquainted with this site. I walked through Brydon Park Preserve, across the Nicomekl river, and through High Knoll park.

The highlight for me was a lifer (being new to the area), which was a male Western Tanager. My brother and I heard at least 1-2 others. Here is the rest of the list from ebird:

Canada Goose 20
Mallard 20
Great Blue Heron 2
Long-billed Dowitcher 9
Belted Kingfisher 1
Western Wood-Pewee 2 (heard only)
Willow Flycatcher 1
Pacific-slope Flycatcher 4 (heard only)
Northwestern Crow 10
Violet-green Swallow 20
Barn Swallow 5
Black-capped Chickadee 5
Brown Creeper 6
Pacific Wren 3 (heard only)
Marsh Wren 5 (heard only)
Swainson's Thrush 12 (heard only)
American Robin 3
Cedar Waxwing 6
Wilson's Warbler 1 (heard only)
Spotted Towhee 8
Song Sparrow 20
Western Tanager 2 (1 seen, at least 1 other heard)
Red-winged Blackbird 10
Brown-headed Cowbird 1
House Sparrow 4

Anyway, I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with this board.

Hi Randy, welcome to the province and to the site.

Great list of birds there. I might have to check out that area if I'm close by.
