Listowner note: You may have noted some really brief postings today in seperate sections. The reason is that I have figured out how to post to my blog directly from my cell phone when I am in the field. Just for your information and possible speedily attempt to see rare sightings and happenings. Good boiding. Peter

From Shane Blodgett:
At 6:40 this morning I found an adult male Summer Tanager in Prospect
Park, between the Vale of Cashmere and the zoo. He was vocalizing the
" tuck" part of his "tickitytuck" call. As I was leaving the area I
heard his full song one time.
I've pasted a link to a Google map here:
