Dear Ohio birders The Rocky River IBA keeps getting better and better! Last Friday, Henry Fortlage, one of our IBA observers found a Summer Tanager while doing his survey. He passed this information on to Ann & Dwight Chasar who invited me to come along and try to relocate the bird today. We did! He sang several times for us. Once he sang for over 6 minutes. (I recorded his singing) Dwight and I took pictures and all three of us got very good looks at it. To find the area where we saw it, take I-71 to Rt 82 east. Then take Rt 82 east to Valley Parkway and turn south on the parkway. The first street you come to is Royalview Lane. Turn right on Royalview Lane. Park in the first parking area you come to. Get our your of car and walk to the trailhead. Take the Maple leaf trail. The Maple leaf trail is a 3 mile loop, but you don't have to walk 3 miles. Take the Maple leaf trail counter-clockwise until you get to the Squirrel trail. At this point continue on the Maple leaf trail for about 200 feet. You will enter a stand of pine trees. This is where the Summer Tanager was.
