This afternoon I found a Summer Tanager at 102 Ranch, on the Truckee River east of Reno. The bird is likely a female of the eastern race, based on overall orangey color with slight red highlights on undertail and elsewhere. Lousy photos and location details are in eBird: https://ebird.org/checklist/S279768265. Also present at the same location as the tanager was a white-striped WHITE-THROATED SPARROW (which have been pushing through in good numbers the last 2 weeks) and a pure-ish-looking "YELLOW SHAFTED" NORTHERN FLICKER.
The trailhead for this location is on the I-80 frontage road north of the river and just west of USA Parkway.
