possible SCARLET TANAGER in SL County

[Tim Avery <tanager at timaverybirding dot com>]

I posted this to birdnet at noon after I went looking, but for some reason it
hasn't posted yet.  I am not going to get into great detail this time, but can
say there may be a female SCARLET TANAGER at Valley View Cemetery on 4100 South
and about 4000 West.  No male was seen in an hour of searching, but the was one
distinct tanager that I had a fleeting glimpse at.  The bird was a dull yellow
below, greenish-yellow above, with gull dark wings, NO WING BARS.  I saw the
bird for about 3 seconds before it flew west out of my view.  I did not
relocate the bird.  I will be heading back again in the morning to take several
hours scouring the cemetary, if anyone is interested in going, let me know.

A note for any vieweres.  This is a cemetery so please be respectful of the
grounds.  Also, I saw around a dozen Female WESTERN TANAGER, and about 3 Dozen
LESSER and AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES.  SO there are a few birds to scan through that
look similar.

I will not say with 100% certainty that the bird I found was a SCARLET TANAGER,
as my sighitng was brief, and didn't allow time to thoroughly go over the bird,
but it definately caught my attention.

GGOD LUCK and GOOD BIRDING!
