I came across this old unidentified bird photo. It was taken at Joshua Tree back in May of 2008. My best guess is Female Western Tanager. Thanks. Sorry for the photo quality. It was pretty dark and I had to lighten it.

The bill looks a little thin and pointed for a tanager, I'm thinking it looks more like a female Bullock's Oriole.

Get my lifelist to 300 (currently 293)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
