I saw the Summer Tanager yesterday (11/20) at 10AM.
It was sitting in the lone small deciduous tree on
the side of the yard.
I saw no hint of red or orange tones on the bird,
suggesting it is a female.

  There is a Summer Tanager regularly coming to a feeder south-southwest =
of Rochester.  The home with the feeder is located in a sub-development =
west of the Willow Creek Golf Course that is located on 48th Street SW =
(which is south of the Hwy 52 and Hwy 63 interchange).  I have =
communicated with the home owner and received permission to pass on the =
information,

  =20

  To get there go south on Hwy 63 to the 48th Street off-ramp.  Go west =
on 48th past 11th Ave and past the golf course on your left.  When you =
see a sign for the road narrowing, turn left on Scenic View Drive (it is =
not too far past the golf course).  Continue a short distance down that =
road and then turn left onto Teak Wood Lane (a dead end street).  When =
you get to the highest point of this road there will be a vacant lot on =
the left.  Park near the group of mailboxes just before the vacant lot =
(note that there is no parking on the north/west side of the street).  =
The bird can be seen coming to the feeders on the post behind the house =
just after the vacant lot.  You can look across the vacant lot to view =
the feeders from inside your car.  It has been seen in the square =
open-top hanging feeder and also has been feeding from the wire mesh nut =
feeder hanging to the right.

  Please be respectful of the home owner and the neighbors in the area.

  If you have any questions you can contact me.
