Western Tanager



From a good friend I learned about the Western Tanager today

I can only envision his sighting, yellow birds with black wings and red heads flying amidst the Ponderosa pines, singing to each other & possibly they know we listen too

If you listen with your ears you can catch up to ten phrases of its song If you're blessed another ten phrases come along

If you listen with your heart you hear their message... love life, sing loud, live each day as if you also fly among the Pines because you do through their melodious songs
