Leslie Englert has had a male Western Tanager visiting her feeder in Maple Grove, Hennepin County, since 11 January. Birders are welcome to visit, though she has asked that people please park on the street and walk into the backyard from the right side of the house. The houses are close together there and, in pointing this out, she specifically requests that birders please be considerate of her neighbors.
Leslie's directions are: From I-494 take Bass Lake Road exit, head west. After Vicksburg Lane, there is construction on Bass Lake Road. Continue to the 2nd traffic light (after the one at Vicksburg Lane) and turn left onto Lawndale. Turn right onto Fieldstone Blvd. Take the 2nd right onto Queensland Lane N and take the second right again onto Queensland Lane N. Fourth house on the right, #6448. This is a record late Western Tanager by several months. The previous latest date on record is 16 September 1989 (Duluth).
