On Tuesday the 15th  at Magee Marsh (Crane Creek, Ohio) standing on a 
lilypad in brilliant sunshine and sipping water, not 30 feet away, was a Scarlet 
Tanager. It clearly could be nothing else but the color was a bright red orange 
with wings that were brown rather than black. Wing coverts showed 
contrasting bars. I was dumfounded but checking Sibley I saw that the 
coloration was not that unusual. Subsequently my wife told me she had seen 
an orange bird on the gold mine tract several years ago but had not noticed 
the oddity in the wings.
