[EBB Sightings] Still no tanager

A tanager's song is reminiscent of a robin but this time of year about all
you're likely to hear is a shorty, churry, trilling call. That's what I
heard the other day.

Hi, all.
  I spent time late yesterday afternoon (till dusk)
and mid-morning today around Cedar & La Loma, but saw
nothing of the tanager. I did note that Sibley says
that summers can sound somewhat similar to a
robin--and I did hear something that I thought was
probably a robin, but it might have been a little
different. There were other unidentified calls in the
thick trees.
  I did see:
hermit thrush
American goldfinch
Oregon junco
house finch (?)
mourning dove
jays--scrub & Steller's
yellow-rumped warbler
robin
phoebe
possible red-shafted flicker (it was flying far off)
California towhee
chestnut-backed chickadee.
Happy hunting!
