Doug Ward--Accept

While the report is somewhat sparse in details, particularly with respect to elimination of similar species, enough of the key marks were noted, and coupled with the observers stated experience with this species, I’m sure he had a Summer Tanager.

Describes diagnostic fieldmarks.

Darren Clark--Accept

The combination of splotchy red head, yellow-green body, light-colored (not dark) bill and lack of wing bars supports the identification of this bird as a Summer Tanager

After finally reading the report, I'm convinced this is what he saw.
