Cbirders,
I got the following email from a friend recently.
Most of us will not have a chance to look for painted buntings in North and
South Carolina for months (if then), but with all the CBC birders scouring
the scrub along the coast, if there are any p.b. stragglers, they will find
them. Now they have the added challenge of seeing if and how the birds
accessorize.
