The guides say they are not noticable, even with their coloring, due to their low-key browsing habits...but if you google "Western tanager Portland" you'll find a few bird-bloggers have noticed them, too.<br/><br/>Hi Rethabile,<br/>Thanks for the visit. Funny, many people would sigh over your Paris balcony! My husband talks about wanting to move downtown (Portland, hardly a Paris) sometime when we are older, and I always reply, "But what about my birds?!" We'll have a great deal of negotiation over the subject, one day.<br/><br/>Hi Juliet,<br/>I <em>knew</em> you'd like these guys! Hi Dale,

Hi Rethabile,
Thanks for the visit. Funny, many people would sigh over your Paris balcony! My husband talks about wanting to move downtown (Portland, hardly a Paris) sometime when we are older, and I always reply, “But what about my birds?!” We’ll have a great deal of negotiation over the subject, one day.

Hi Juliet,
I knew you’d like these guys!
