SCARLET TANAGER Piranga olivacea
|
2 Nov 2003 at Big Sur R. mouth MTY |
The SCARLET TANAGER is a rare vagrant to California. Almost all
of the records are of fall vagrants along the coast, mostly in October
and the vast majority in southern California; there are just a handful
of records of spring vagrants or possible summerers.
Most of my California records are listed below. Those preceded by H
were
found or co-found by me personally; those preceded by
K
receive
some partial credit (e.g., I was involved in sorting out i.d. of a previously
discovered bird or refound a vagrant that had been thought to have left).
These are my personal Scarlet Tanager records:
