(Sorry for this being slightly late but my earlier attempt to e-mail this from the field went awry for some reason).
Kim Eckert's Minnesota River Valley MBW group found an adult male Summer Tanager around 10:00 a.m. this morning near the town of Courtland in NW Blue Earth County. The bird was found a little NE of the intersection of Hwy. 68 and Blue Earth County Rd. 47 (turn left or north on the gravel road at this intersection less than a quarter mile). There's a reclaimed gravel pit here and the Tanager was at the bottom of a hill near a bunch of bee hives. Several photographers in our group got good pictures of it and they will post to the MOU website later today. Good birding, Brian Smith ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
