we also saw a female Baltimore Oriole gathering nesting material - Henricus has
not had, to my knowledge, nesting BA OR's before. It was in the same area as
the female Painted Bunting. BTW, no sign of the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher seen
there earlier this week.

I stopped at Dutch Gap (Chesterfield Co.) on my way home from work today and
relocated the female type PAINTED BUNTING at 4:00 in the same location that
Paul
Bedell and others found the bird this morning. The fisherman's trail intersects
the main trail on the left not far from the visitor's center. The bird showed
briefly at 4:00 before disappearing back into the vegetation so I waited around
for another 20 minutes and it came back out at which point I got long looks at
the bird as it fed leisurely. Thanks for posting Paul. Great bird.

This morning I saw a female Painted Bunting at Dutch Gap, at the first
fisherman's trail on the left (I forget the name) in the shrubby area on the
right as you approach the fisherman's dock. Several others who were with me saw
it including Grace Suttle and Gerry Weinberger. Hope a male shows up!
