The Rustic Bunting re-appeared this afternoon around 1:35pm foraging with several Juncos in the little wood pile that has been described in previous posts. The wood pile(s) are fairly close to the intersection of Martin Luther King and Nancy Pelosi streets. Where there were none just prior, suddenly I first saw several Junco's foraging on the wood pile, then another reddish colored bird "flew down" and joined the Junco's it was the Rustic Bunting. The bunting was visible for maybe 10 minutes max, then disappeared. The bunting then re-appeared again around around 3:30pm for another 15 minutes or so, once again with juncos. This time it foraged on the wood piles, but then moved to foraging on the grass next to the wood piles.There definitely seems to be a correlation between the bird foraging where it is visible and folks not getting too close to the wood piles.Malia DeFeliceHalf Moon Bay |
