I have long been a subscriber to FL Birds (a "listserv" on which birders from around Florida post info on bird sightings) and a while back signed up for Utah's counterpart, Birdnet. Well, the "buzz" for the past several days is a bird I am quite familiar with and, if I could, it would be kind of fun to see it for myself. But, since it would be a 700 mile round trip I think I'll pass on a trek to see the male Painted Bunting who has managed to wander up to Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge. Needless to say, birders up this way are all a-twitter over this one; the bird is about 900 or so miles out of range and, while there is some question at this point, it may be a first state record for Painted Buntings in Utah. Just to make things even more interesting, a Red-shouldered Hawk and a Scarlet Tanager, though not unknown in the state but apparently extremely rare, are -or a least had been - hanging out on the same general area as the bunting.
