Painted Bunting Near Heathwood in Columbia, SC



I saw a Painted Bunting along with some  Indigo Buntings around 8 this
evening in a field near Heathwood Hall.  I was birding with a friend who had
some Canon Image Stabilizing Binoculars (15x45).    I was looking on a
branch across a field where  Indigo  Buntings can usually be found.    All
of a sudden a Painted Bunting (male) lighted on the limb.  Although these
binocs may be a little heavy for birding they sure came in handy today.  The
bunting stayed there long enough to give us  both a few good looks.  I'd
seen them there before but this is the first time this year.  Always a
beautiful sight.
