heatharcadia, I was super excited to see multiple Western Tanagers in my yard at the same time. These are some of my favorite birds because of how brightly colored the males are.

A female Western Tanager sitting in a Western Redcedar. This bird is the same size as the male, but the body is covered in muted yellow feathers. The grey-brown wings are barely visible in this pose.
A different male Western Tanager that I believe is younger than the other. It has the same coloring as the other male, except the red feathers on its face do not extend beyond the eye and are not quite as bright.
