[va-richmond-general] hatch year Painted Bunting

Richmond Birders,

On September 21, 2002, Bob Reilly caught a hatch year Painted Bunting at 
Dutch Gap.  He was kind enough to send in a write up to VARCOM and Al 
Warfield provided photos.  I just wanted to let everyone know that this 
submission has been accepted by VARCOM as the first documented hatch 
year Painted Bunting in the state.  Though this doesn't necessarily mean 
the bird was hatched in Virginia, it still represents a significant 
ornithological find.  Thanks to both Bob and Al for submitting the 
documentation!

Al - I don't seem to have your address.  If you send it to me, I'll send 
you a thank you letter on the spiffy new stationery that Ned had made 
up.  Thanks.

Sue
