http://paintedbuntingbirdclub.blogspot.com/2014/12/birding-delta-national-forest.html
Painted Bunting Bird Club. Saturday, December 27, 2014. Birding the Delta National Forest. The sky looked threatening all day long, but it did not rain heavily while we were actually birding in the forest. Because of the sprinkles we birded mostly from the car. Berry stared at some branches on her side of the car. She quietly whispered to me the word, "tow-hee" and gestured to her right. There was a delightful white-eyed Eastern Towhee staring back at me. Some other birds we saw today were :. According t...

Painted Bunting Bird Club: Orlando in June
http://paintedbuntingbirdclub.blogspot.com/2015/06/orlando-in-june.html
Painted Bunting Bird Club. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. I followed my wife to Orlando, Florida. She has a business meeting and I could stay in the hotel with her. This is a large convention hotel with hundreds of rooms, several swimming pools and a golf course attached to it. In the weeds in the pond next to the cart path, there was a Limpkin (Aramus guarauna). This one had avoided being eaten by an alligator. Also, during this walk around the convention center, we saw four Sandhill Cranes.

Painted Bunting Bird Club: A Peninsula into the Gulf of Mexico

Painted Bunting Bird Club. Monday, December 29, 2014. A Peninsula into the Gulf of Mexico. And the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow. This was a great day. The peninsula had a great many orange trees. We were surprised, frankly, that many of the actual oranges were still on the trees this late in the year. About half way down the peninsula, there was the ancient Fort Jackson. It was a battle site in the American Civil War. We drove around the property slowly and looked at birds. Robert drove very slowly down th...
