Blue Bunting at Last - Quinta Maztalan

        The elusive immature Blue Bunting finally came out in the open to the amphitheater feeders. 

For weeks he stayed hidden and birders only saw glimpses of him deep in the bush.  A few weeks ago he came out to the stream and was sited by a more, but not to us. The  fourth time was not quite the charm, because it was a very low light morning before the rain.  Happy but not ecstatic. 

The Bunting is getting more colorful by day with turquoise showing on the crown of his head.
