The Painted Bunting was seen again from about 4:10 PM until after 4:40 PM (after sunset), in almost the same place where Eric Miller had last seen it. After 10 or so minutes of it being difficult to see in the thick ground-level vegetation, it came into slightly better view and then was seen just about constantly (though almost never the entire bird) until it flew off a bit to the west (didn't look like it went far, but it was too dark to see where it sent).
The approximate location where it was (not moving from a ~1 foot diameter circle the whole time we watched it) is where the green arrow is on this map: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.743120,+-73.739594&hl=en&sll=40.743032,-73.739438&sspn=0.001103,0.002642&t=h&z=16 Approximate Coordinates: 40.743120, -73.739594 It is not an adult male.

(Unless there was a late development) the Painted Bunting was last seen just before 3:00, when it flew into shady underbrush at the edge of a stand of evergreens or hollies. I'll update my Alley Park map tonight to show the location.

Erik Miller and I are looking at a female Painted Bunting at Alley Pond Park near the Upper Winchester Parking Lot. The bird is being seen along the asphalt path going north into the woods. The path is between the baseball field and the soccer field. First spotted by Eric who called me as I was on my way to Alley. We both obtained photographic documentation. Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!
