So, I thought I saw the last of my lifers for the year, when a juvenile Rustic Bunting flew into Golden Gate Park. Don and I shot on over, and were barely out of the car when the little beauty was up and about before it flew up so high in the cypress we - and its many admirers, couldn't see it any longer. We hung around and got second looks as well. Sad news is no photos for me because I left my camera down in Watsonville by accident. Oh well... maybe I will have my camera retrieved in time to see a lifer Brambling in Arcata by month's end?
