(Posted by Frank Gosiak <[email protected]> via moumn.org) Milt Blomberg (who I have a friendly competition with) had a Western Tanager come into his feeder earlier in the year. Needless to say, I was a little jealous. Today, I was in my yard and looked toward my neighbor's feeder a low and behold, a beautiful male Western Tanager. It flew out of her yard and past mine towards Pine Grove Park (which I live next to ) in Little Falls. I went to speak to her and she knew the bird had been coming to her feeder for almost a month. Shows me I should be taking to my neighbors more and be involved in their lives. After speaking to her I realized she is a very knowledgable birder and has a better feeder system than I do. I also feel humiliated because I have been hearing an odd call in the neighborhood but I passed it off as a weird sounding robin. She said it comes in at odd times and couldn't tell me if there is a pattern. She is open to birders if you are interested. My address is 307 8th Street N.W. Little Falls and she lives across the road to the east of me.
