I stopped by the house where the male painted bunting was spotted. I was lucky enough to catch a quick glimpse of the bird and a few blurry photos. This was extremely exciting for me and a new lifer. Unfortunately the homeowners do not want to allow any visitors. I tried to explain how wonderful and rare this visitor is but it didn't help. Apparently the bird has been on the feeder every morning for almost week. The closest public location is the ridge conservation area on randall rd.
Hope this helps ;) Melissa -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
