Went out to the Heathwood fields today and the first bird I saw was a
Green-backed Heron!! Next were Eastern Bluebirds. Hadn't seen a heron out
there yet. Took me a while to get the Painted Bunting but when he showed up
he sat in the same dead tree shrub with a Cardinal, 2 Indigo Buntings, a
Carolina Wren and a Mourning Dove. That's a record number of species for
that particular shrub. There's 4 out there. Saw a couple of Blue
Grosbeaks, Chinmey Swifts, Barn Swallows, House Finches and Cowbirds.
Another beautiful day in Columbia!!
