I saw an adult male Western Tanager in Oxford, MS this morning (May 2, 2011). It was eating mulberries, and singing constantly. The song matched a WT, as did the characteristic reddish-orange head grading into lemon-yellow, with dark wings.
A different male Western Tanager was in the mulberry tree in Oxford, Mississippi where I saw one last week (reported above). This one was also singing.
We saw a male Western Tanager, or a bird that looks exactly like a male WT, on the golf course in Tupelo this morning. We didn't think they were found this far east. Maybe a deviation from the normal migration?
