I and my brother Vic were able to re-find the Summer Tanager on the Blue
Hill Trail this evening around 6:20. We found it right next to the
bench on the lower right trail where Helen Wang first reported it. Our
look was all too brief before it flew west in the direction of the upper
left trail where Denny and Barb Martin reported seeing it. We weren't
able to relocate it after that. As Denny said, it's difficult to follow
a bird when it's not singing. There was at least one Scarlet Tanager in
the general area for comparison, but we did not see any interaction
between the birds.

[mou] Summer Tanager, Sherburne +
Spent an hour on Blue Hill Trail this evening, may have heard the Summer Tanager back beyond the bench on the right hand side. Sang twice (like a clear Scarlet without the burriness), but I'm no expert on Summer vocalizations - and my audio memory degrades quickly as time passes. The Dingmanns were chasing it as I left, hopefully they will be more successful. Also stopped at Sherburne CR2 sewage ponds this evening - still only 6-7 shorebird species, although the Greaters a second Wilson's Phalarope were new. First Wilson's has been there a week (or its lookalike). Had a Yellow-billed Cuckoo on Mahnomen Trail, Sherburne Refuge this morning - otherwise summer quiet. Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs Sherburne Counties PS Yes, did get to Big Stone Lac Qui Parle over the weekend - while I had a good trip learning the area picked up five year birds, did miss a number of goodies including the Snowies - would have helped if I had checked the 75 Dike area rather than 21! Tempted to return this Saturday. Thanks to Phil Chu for the ideal route - 4.5 hours on Yahoo/Google became 3.
