Hello,

I don't know if anyone has posted on here about the Lazuli Buntings that have been predictably present outside of Everson lately. Inspired by all the reports on our local list, we went out yesterday afternoon to see if we could find them. All was quiet when we first got there but we decided to hang out for a while and see what develops. We were not disappointed. After fifteen minutes or so, we were treated to numerous comings and goings by a pair of these lovely birds. I got several good pictures of them which I have posted at:

In addition to the Buntings, we also saw a female Yellowthroat and an immature Cooper's Hawk.
