Hi everyone;
First off, apologies for the terrible image quality - it was damp yesterday so I left my gear mostly at home, not expecting to see much. However, out at Tsawassen Ferry (along the dike, which might be open again, since there is no signage or barrier?) I saw a few of these guys hanging out in the brambles.
My first thought is Western Tanager given the red/orange head, yellow body and (maybe) black on the wings, but when looking through bins the wings looked more greenish than yellow/black.
Also, the second bird in the photo (the shy one looking away from the camera, haha) has a pretty distinct reddish patch on his back between the wings, which is not typical for Western Tanager to my knowledge.
Anyone have a better ID? Despite the miserable image?
Thanks!
