Re: Painted Bunting community gardens
The community gardens has been birded numerous times by capable birders this summer and painted buntings have not been seen/reported until today. I would give zero weight to the statements of the gardeners – who are universally nice people, but not birders.
But words can be put in their mouths. It would be great if one of the gardeners was a birder who posted his/her sightings, but they aren't and they don't.

Three painted buntings were seen last August/September at the gardens. The gardens are a well-known spot to find this bird, and this is the time of year that we have a chance to see them. There is no better way to stay current
on rare birds than to simply pay attention.
