Lazuli Bunting, Jefferson Co.

[Martha LKJ]

I'm super excited to have seen a male Lazuli Bunting at my seed feeder this afternoon, just long enough for me to grab binoculars and see it clearly before it flew away.  I've never even seen one before!  The next bird that visited was a female Red-Winged Blackbird which I've seen before but not this season.  I have a few males all year long.  Since I didn't post earlier, I also had my first ever female Bullock's Oriole 3 days in a row a couple of days after putting out my orange feeder May 6, and it was the 3rd year of hanging that feeder.  Since then House Finches come and go regularly to eat the grape jelly.  A pair of House Wren's have been busy in our front yard birdhouse for about two weeks. They're so fun to hear every morning and watch when they flit around.
