Painted Bunting, Jefferson Co.

[Andrews Robert]

Hello all,

The Painted Bunting was seen by many this morning from about 7:20 to 7:35 AM. It was seen in the area west of the southernmost of the two buildings at the Audubon Center at Chatfield. At times it was in the shrubs and low trees and not visible much of the time. But at times it comes to feed on the ground next to the bench and the buffalo berry sign on the west side of the building, and then it can be seen very well at close range. About a dozen people had great looks early this morning, and there were more people waiting and watching when I left.
