From Russ Alderson
 
Location:     Prospect Park
Observation date:     5/9/08
Notes:     Not sure about Summer Tanager...possible Scarlett but paler
and no distinct black wings. At first I thought it may have been a
Pine Grosbeak but the bill was too long and this bird was slim. The
cloudy day made for poor light.
