Since it was Friday, the traffic was miserable and I got to Andover a little on the late side (I didn&#8217;t think I would ever get there!). I located the bird with the help of \u00a0Denis, the only other birder present. It was his first time seeing the bird in New Jersey, and for me it was <strong>life bird #316<\/strong>. And what a beautiful bird at that, really it&#8217;s hard to believe this bird unless you see it. The bird only came to the feeder one time while I was there, but he spent a good amount of time there before finding a nearby perch. I wish the light had been better for photos, but that&#8217;s the way it goes some times. What a super bird and a very\u00a0nice\u00a0way to end the week. \u00a0Thanks to Linda Scrima, Maria Loukeris, and Marianne Ofenloch for the heads up about the bird and for the details on how to locate him.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3970\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3970\" style=\"width: 1879px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/MG_0175.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3970\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/MG_0175.jpg\" alt=\"~\" width=\"1879\" height=\"2351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/MG_0175.jpg 1879w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/MG_0175-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/MG_0175-818x1024.jpg 818w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/MG_0175-1000x1251.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3970\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~Grainy shot of the Painted Bunting perched, not too far from the feeder.
