Painted Bunting



	Hi birders,
	Was out early this morning looking for sparrows at the old coast guard
station (north end of Pea Island) when a first-year male Painted Bunting
popped out of the shrubs. What a pleasant surprise! If you turn down the
back road that dead-ends at the coast guard station gate, the bunting was
approxiamately 50 yards from the highway on the left (west) side of the
road, in some low shrubs.
	Also had a White-crowned Sparrow, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo, a Chat, and
several Blue Grosbeaks. A Eurasion Wigeon was reported at north pond this
morning, also.
