Summer Tanager	Dallas County	Dallas County, west of Des Moines River	edge of woodland	The documentation form by Jim Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. \| Elimination of similar species: The lack of wing bars eliminates Western Tanager and the lack of black wings eliminates Scarlet Tanager. I was puzzled by the orange under the tail since none of the field guides I had showed this but I found that in Pyle et al. 1987 this color pattern is mentioned for Summer Tanager and not for Hepatic Tanager, the other species I considered a remote possibility. \| The original documentation form event occurred around 08:30:00.
