I saw my first Painted Bunting in over 30 years this morning in my back
yard near one of the feeders ) Last time I saw one was in the
mid-'70's, I imagine they've been around, just not in my neighborhood.

If you are interested in birds, check out the recent article over on CNN's
web-site with some confirmed sightings of an Ivory-Billed Woodpecker in a
forest in Arkansas. A truly fantastic sighting if it is indeed an
Ivory-billed. Sadly, you will not find one of those in your backyard
