I found a male Summer Tanager at Rockford Rotary Forest Preserve (5390 Rotary Road, Cherry Valley, IL 61063). Location: Take the newly paved road in till it ends and then continue left before you reach the first trail on the right. He was down this trail a few hundred feet or so.

Also of note was a male Eastern Towhee that called oddly in what appeared to be a distracting call while the female was in the open. I turned to look at the male and *poof* the female had returned to what I’m guessing was a nest.

Great fun for a short lunch time walk.
