[mou] Summer Tanager - Bass Ponds Hen. Cty.

Chet Meyers writes: This morning at 10:45 a.m. while looking unsuccessfully for the White-eyed Vireo at the Bass Ponds, I heard an unfamiliar ratchity call note from a bird flying about in the undergrowth. Turned out it was a summer tanager that looked very much like the first spring male in

About 8:50 this morning at the second walkway (the first long one) from the parking lot along the bluff trail at Old Cedar Bridge, Eloise Jasken and I saw a Cerulean Warbler that was singing softly about halfway up the bluff. I checked back at noon and wasn't able to relocate it. Other FOY birds

[mou] public apology

It seems I may have misidentified two of the birders who helped me see the summer tanager this morning--not to mention confusing the two people whose names I DID use. My thanks go to Jim Pomplun and Eloise Jaskin, as well as Chet Meyers. I hope they'll chalk it up to lifer enthusiasm, and accept

I apologize for the poor quality of these. The light and shooting distance were horrible, but they were the best I could do At least they are diagnostic. These were taken from 3:15-4:11pm, Wednesday, May 9, 2007. The bird took flight with the most of the flock at 4:11pm.
