At 7:25 am on June 4-2022 Ian Burgess and Brent Diakow found a male Scarlet Tanager at the upper main parking lot in a flock of Western Tanagers at Queen Elizabeth Park.
Map to location HERE
The bird has also been seen HERE near the lawn bowling area. However the main location at the upper parking lot is where it prefers most.
On June 5th, Sharon Toochin discovered a second male Scarlet Tanager at the same location. While one was being viewed at the main upper parking lot HERE a second bird was being seen and photographed at the quarry garden beneath Seasons in the Park Restaurant HERE. Then both birds were viewed together at the upper main parking lot by several observers.
On June 6th both bird continue at the original location (main upper parking lot).
**The birds were not relocated on June 7th**
**This is the 4th confirmed photographed record for BC and the 1st record for Metro Vancouver.**
