Monterey Audubon - Western Tanagers
Western Tanagers were migrating along the coast this morning and likely throughout Monterey County. This individual was one of several in a mixed flock dominated by Hooded Orioles at El Carmelo Cemetery.
Western Tanager is a fairly common migrant in the county, occasionally in large and conspicuous pulses, and with a long spring migration window continuing well into June. In Monterey County, the species nests at elevation in the Santa Lucia range and on Fremont Peak (Roberson, 2002).
