@ Calf Pasture?

What time were you there today? We were at Calf Pasture approx 3-4pm.

Nice job on the Tanager.. I've never seen a Tanager so co-operative.

I believe that is the area. Its near the viewing deck on the east side of the main road, you drive under a small over pass road. It was hanging around the tree line at the deck parking area around 11 am.

That's it.... too bad I didn't get a chance to meet you.

I was sitting at the picnic bench amongst the gnats trying to listen for a Tennesee Warbler (heard but not seen) when our friend decided to pop out.

Funny enough, I got almost the exact same poses 4 hours later. Did you get the female too?

Never saw a female, not sure if they nest in the park or not.
