Winston-Salem, NC, Vagrant, Feb 16, 2021
Photos were captured of a reported vagrant Painted Bunting a few blocks from downtown Winston-Salem, NC. No previous sightings of a Painted Bunting had been logged in Forsyth County. The viewing was from the deck of a private homeowner who graciously allowed birders to stakeout the bunting, which favored a tree in the backyard and occasionally visited a feeder.
Sole photo from initial stakeout visit around lunchtime before it flew out. The rest were taken on a return visit in mid-afternoon.
