Today, Sunday, from 5:30-5:45 pm, the female Summer Tanager (eastern plumage) and now again the MOCKINGBIRD (juvenile) were seen again in Hutchinson. Bernice and Earl Hall 665 Hillcrest Rd NE. 320-587-8122 Take MN Hwy. 7 into Hutch to the large 4-way stoplite intersection at Bluff St., and turn north (right if coming from the Cities). Go about 4 blocks to Ridge Ave. which only goes left (west), then turn south again on Hillcrest, about 2 houses to 665. They welcome visitors. We believe the Summer Tanager is a McLeod Cty. record.
