The Western Tanager in San Francisco

On May 6, 1908, while passing thru Lafayette Square (a park two blocks square in this city), I noticed a pair of unfamiliar birds flying from tree to tree in a eucalyptus hedge. I walked cautiously in their direction and was rewarded by being able to get within ten feet of the male bird, a Western Tanager (Piranga ludoviciana) ; that the other was a female I am not quite so certain. This species was not included in Ray's “Summer Birtls of San Francisco County”, a paper which appeared in THE CONDOR for March, 1906.

San francisco, California.
