Painted Bunting on the WBA Trail.

The MD Birding Email List has reported the Painted Bunting several times, so I took a chance and drove to Glenn Dale to get a look. This bird is well North of his usual range, and is a nice find.
I stopped at Governor Bridge on the way home, but it was pretty quiet.
