Re: [cobirds] El Paso county Bird ID assistance request

Everyone,

Thanks for your replies about this bird being a Summer Tanager. The fun part is I only saw it because I had gotten close to a tree to get a picture of a large swarm of bees.in it.

Bill et al,

I think this is a Summer Tanager mainly due to the bill and inconsistent color from the crown to the tail.  The wings don't look dark enough to be a Scarlet.

Karl Stecher asked whether this could be a female scarlet tanager which I think is a good point because the loral line doe not go forward of the eye.

Thanks Tyler. The huge bill confused me and after looking at it more closely it is paler than I thought originally.

Bill,

This is a female Summer Tanager. Note the huge pale bill. One has been seen there for probably the better part of a week now. 

Best,

I saw this bird today at Fountain Creek Nature Center. I think it is a female common Yellowthroat but I am not sure of this ID. Any feedback would be appreciated.
