Good morning all!

I apologize for the grammatical errors in my post last time! 

Pretty active morning today at the EWBC, the Green Kingfisher popped up again 
at the Dragonfly Pond, this time it was a female, and I also saw a Little Blue 
Heron stop by that pond yesterday afternoon, probably looking for an easy to 
catch meal! I had visitors report a Painted Bunting a bit ago along the 
grounds, however I was not able to find it, but I'm sure it's around! Below is 
a complete list of sightings from this morning:
