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.
This House Finch was foraging high in the treetops.
This Tufted Titmouse repeatedly slammed the caterpillar against the branch before eating it.
A family of Red Bellied Woodpeckers was hanging out at this dead tree.
This remarkably colored Painted Bunting shouldn’t be much further North than North Carolina.
Wow. Amazing. Must have been spectacular for you
