Hi, At 9:15 this morning (Wednesday the 19th), a male Painted Bunting was at the feeders of Rich Pemble of south Moorhead. Rich lives at 2411 Rivershore Drive and is willing to have people come see the bird. To get to the spot, take I 94 to the Route 75 exit (the last exit before crossing into North Dakota), go north on 75 (8th St. S.) to the stoplight at 24th Avenue S., the street just north of Sunmart, and turn left (west) toward the Red River. At the end of 24th, where you'll see a double-headed arrow, turn left and park. Rich's house is the second on the right. His instructions are to walk around the south side of the garage and watch either from the wooden deck or the yard sloping toward the river. The bird has been coming to seed spilled on the ground near the lower level of the house. The spot is at eye-level if you are standing near the cluster of trees in the mowed area of the yard. Please post your success or failure in seeing the bird so others will know whether to make the trip.
