Piranga ludoviciana
Bright yellow bird with black wings and yellow wingbars. This male is in basic plumage so he shows only a very faint orange coloring on his face. This will darken and become prominent as he molts into alternate plumage.
This bird was coming to a feeder at a residence. The property had mature trees and only some understory.
Western Tanagers are known to travel far out of range in the winter.
