Western tanager, crossbill, and more local birds

Just a few more "locals" and migrants from Central Oregon... Not the best light as the pictures were taken in the mid-day, but I hope you like the pictures...

Western tanager

You have some great models here! The light is not that bad, the warbler is one fine shot. I love seeing the Towhee, as this one isn't posted that often. I used to see them here in the fall months. Looks like you have some Magic Perches too! Well done.

Thanks, Steve! The towhees are not very common around here, but this place attracts them because it's the only water source within miles of dry terrain.

great variety of beautiful birds. The Flicker is still a favorite!

Thanks, Dave! Yes, the flickers are neat looking birds. They are very skittish and not so easy to take pictures of. I managed to get this one to stand still for a second.
