Hi All, 

The previously reported PAINTED BUNTING continues in Bowie.  We saw it this morning four times over the course of about an hour beginning at about 8:45 am.  Three of these views were for 1 to 3 minutes or more and were from the back of the abandoned house next door.  Another delight was a Pileated Woodpecker was flying around in the stream valley not too far from the house for a good ten minutes or so.  

Best,
