I did not find the Western Tanager. It was around 2:15pm and I was there for
about 25 minutes. There was fresh snow and the only footprints in the yard
were mine.

Subject: [mou-net] Western Tanager in the Twin Cities
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).
