When I spotted this bird I thought it was a northern cardinal. Later when I was looking at the photo I chenced my mind. I think it this is a Summer Tanager. I could be wrong, but I am going with it.

I believe this is a 1st year immature male Summer Tanager. I have photographed a few Scarlet Tanagers near the same location where we spotted this one but this is a first for me.
The summer tanager range is just into this part of Ohio. I could be incorrect but I really believe that is what this is. It was a surprise find.
