Lazuli bunting

Gord: Thanks for the info regarding the Lazuli Bunting at Island 22 on the RBA. It took me 2 and 1/2 hours to find it, but I found it! ;D It's a lifer for me! This morning it was on the dike just past the campground. Another highlight was a good view of a first summer's male Bullock's oriole as well as an adult male and female. I'd say such a nice-looking, not so common bird as the Lazuli Bunting, was worth the $2.00 for parking!!! Thanks again Gord!

Jeff, delighted you got the bird!!! Either he moved further down or it is another bird. Ive seen 2 males and 2 females at once last year, so they are breeding without a doubt. I used to see them right at the corner of Cartmell and Young Road way back when (10 years ago plus), and they've slowly worked their way down Cartmell it seems. Ive seen them past the last gate at Is 22 past the campground too.

Good work!
