Not a major attraction, but enjoyable nonetheless. >> I think he was weirder then she is ... my grandmother used to make us watch him when we were young. Turned me off both the Midwest and ballroom dancing. << <<My parents never missed a show>> Doesn't surprise me. >> I won't tell her if you won't! << <<It would probably break her heart.>> I doubt it! But my heart is breaking as I await a TDLFAN email!

His last e-mail were pictures of a Scarlet Tanager, a Summer Tanager (in mid-moult), a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a Philadelphia Vireo, a Yellow-headed Blackbird, and possibly the most beautiful small bird I've ever seen, a Painted Bunting. I don't remember if he photographed these in Quintana Texas or outside of Galveston.

Originally Posted By MPierce >> Incidentally, can be found in Florida, especially during winter. << Per the Audobon Socity, Painted Bunting has two distinct breeding populations: one found along the Atlantic Coast from North Carolina south to central Florida; and another that stretches across much of Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, southward into northern Mexico. They are dwindling in numbers though. The exact causes for the decline are not known, but they are believed to include habitat loss, cowbird parasitism, and trapping for the pet trade on its wintering grounds. The males are stunning with their beautiful colors, but I've never seen one in the wild.
Originally Posted By leobloom ^^In winter they are more common in Central Florida because the migrants boost the population numbers. But, yes, the males are stunning birds.

Who knows when you'll get another chance to experience magic like that?
