On Tuesday, an adult male SUMMER TANAGER showed up at my suet feeder in western Polk County. He only appeared twice in about 1 hour and then I did not see him again until this morning, when he returned to feed on grapes in my backyard. He has been coming fairly regularly throughout the morning, perhaps due to the chillier temps. Currently, his visits are spreading out a little longer in between. No idea how long he might stay. Sounds like a first county record for Polk from what I can tell.
Also on Tuesday, I had a Spotted x Eastern Towhee and he is still here, along with an actual Eastern Towhee. I also have White-crowned, White-throated, Harris’s, Lincoln’s, Clay-colored and Chipping Sparrows, Purple, House and Goldfinches, a pair of Cardinals that has been here all winter and will likely nest nearby somewhere, Baltimore Orioles, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, etc. Sandy Aubol East Grand Forks Polk County ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
