Hello everyone.
If my email or Fanter Lanes email was not clear.
The Rustic Bunting was on private property and is NOT accessible.

Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience.

Noah found the bird on private property and a good distance from a public rd, so the original location of the bird is not accessible to people chasing the bird, and trying to re-find it. Like Noah also said the bird flew when we where watching it, a long distance away by itself (not with the junco flock) and we could not relocate it after another hour of searching.
