Saturday August, 7, Turkey Point approximately 9:00 am.
The bird was observed mid-story in a group of Honey Locust.  The bird was an
obvious tanager and acting like a tanager.  It had a deep yellow body, black
wings with a large white wing bar.  However, the bright red was only on the
nape of the head, extending to the sides of the neck, but not on the back or
top of the head (the head was the same yellow color as the body, except for
the red area). The front of the head and throat were yellow also.  I did not
notice the yellow shoulder bar.
