Here is the reply I have from Dave.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thanks Marg.

Definitely not a Pine Grosbeak.

This one was all red.

Now the Summer Tanager is a very close possibility, but the one I saw is
certainly fat.

Will look for the finer points and advise if it shows up again.

I think there have been more sightings since Tufts.  We saw one at Melbourne
(Yarmouth County) church back about 1987.

Summer tanager? The colour is right.
Robie Tufts cited three appearances in NS, one in October and two in April –
1913 and 1937. The 1913 one was found dead.
Also Hartlen Point, 2009. Can't remember what month.
The Robie Tufts note is downloadable from https://sora.unm.edu/node/17765.
