Seen in Maryland. The Painted Bunting is a rare visitor to the Northern Virginia/Maryland area. This one was found at Great Falls National Park. Hanging out in an area full of late season berries, the bird hardly paid any attention to all the birders and photographers across the canal.
It’s midwinter here in the DELMARVA region. Time when Bald Eagles get the itch to find a mate and build a nest. Wont be long before some little ones start squawking, pushing and shoving for the adults attention and especially food. These were seen along with about 50 others at the Blackwater NWR in Maryland.
