I saw a Summer Tanager earlier today (Friday) at the southeast end of 
Linwood Lake in northern Anoka County, near the northwest corner of Carlos 
Avery WMA.  To get to the location, take Jordell (spelled Jodrell on some 
signs) north from Lexington Avenue (Co. Rd. 17), drive past the Boot Lake 
SNA and continue driving until the road comes to a T-intersection at the 
southern end of Linwood Lake.  Take a right at the T and park at the dead 
end.  There's an informal trail at the dead end which leads to the main 
trail that runs along the eastern shore of Linwood Lake.  The bird was in 
the area where the informal trail intersects the main trail.  This is at the 
southern end of a relatively large stand of tall white pines.  The bird is 
either a first-year male or a female.
