A while back - one of our birder extraordinaire - extended an invitation to anyone who wished to see a Dicksissell - to come over anytime. We - Carol, John and I, made a point of stopping there on our way home after birding most of the day and we were treated to some nice sightings indeed. Thank You Vince, you made our day!

| So many camera shot opportunities and so little light to capture it all - my only downside to this perfect sighting. |

| We did get to see the Dicksissel - however no photos to show you, maybe next time. |
Great series, the Painted Bunting are my favorite. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a very full day...I have never seen the Common Crackle. Like the markings, but my favorite is the painted bunting.....love the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the both of you - Painted Buntings are hard to beat with their colors.
