Painted Bunting at Community Gardens

I had a quick view of the brightly colored male Painted Bunting this morning (Monday, Aug. 20). A life bird for me. The female was also visible for much longer in a different plot. Thanks to Eric K and Paul Lehman for pointing it out. It was nice to finally meet both of them.
