For those who haven't been to this eBird hotspot: after turning on w. buckhorn from Deer Creek Canyon Rd, park in the pullout on the right. Cross the street and go slightly up a driveway. A path shows up on the left. Go down the the little greenbelt to the lone Russian Olive bush. Face away from the road and look up to the highest trees. The Scarlet Tanager was making itself quite known by its singing!

Thank you for posting!
Truelly amazing find and amazing bird! Due to the placement of a patches of yellow plumage, it looks like it could potentially the same bird seen a few days ago at Harriman Lake. Either way, great find. Interestingly, I drove by this location early this morning and noted that I heard a Red-eyed Vireo. I was on my way to Reynolds Park looking for (and not finding) Dusky Grouse (althought I did hear an Ovenbird on the way up). I didn't end up stopping at Deer Creek and Buckthorn. Shows what I could miss if I dont actually get out and look!Ben Sampson
