One in female-type plumage (1996-64) on 28 Dec 1996, �Catahoula CBC� (parish and specific locality not provided). The description did not exclude oriole species.
One male (2000-089) on 23 December 2000, Orleans: New Orleans, Chalmette Battlefield. The majority of Members agreed that the description was too superficial for acceptance.
One in female-type plumage (2004-52) on 2 Dec 2004, Vermilion: Pleasant Road, approximately 3 mi. W of Palmetto Island State Park. This record was considered unacceptable after three circulations. The observer�s description was extremely superficial, and did not explain why the bird was even a �tanager� to begin with. Although the observer is experienced, and the record involved a fairly obvious species, four members were ultimately unwilling to accept such a superficial description. The observation is reported to have lasted 1-2 minutes and members expected more detail would have been provided. The Committee was concerned that, had this record been accepted, it would essentially be a case of a �rubber-stamp� on the basis of the reputation of the submitting observer. This is not how the Committee wishes to operate, and the LBRC urges experienced observers to set an example and provide more, not less, information with their reports.
One adult male (2005-026) on 13 October 2005, St. Mary: ca 2 mi. S Intracoastal Canal bridge on Cypremort Point highway. Quite possibly correctly identified, but the description was considered too superficial.
One female or first-year male (2009-063) on 2 October 2009, Cameron: Peveto Woods Sanctuary. Viewing conditions were poor (bird was back lit) and the observer did not discuss how Summer Tanager was eliminated from consideration.
