5/8/05 Today my brother, Chris, found a 1st year SUMMER TANAGER at Hok-si-la park, near Lake City, in Goodhue county. The bird was found around 9:30 a.m. Both Dave Zumeta and myself were able to share this nice find with Chris. We heard the bird sing a few times, comparing it with both scarlet tanager and robin, which were both nearby.
Chris and I also had 18 species of warblers including: yellow-rump, palm, orange-crown, tennessee, black-and-white, black-throated green, blackburnian, blackpoll, northern parula, blue-winged, golden-winged, nashville, redstart, northern waterthrush, yellow, magnolia, chesnut-sided, and cape may. #19 was an ovenbird. #20 wasn't seen until we got back to Rochester; a common yellowthroat at Eastside WMA (Cty. 9 Marsh). 109 species were seen for the day! the Hockema Bros.
