Third time was the charm. The bird was in the trees on the left of the tall grass field with several other birds. It took only ten minutes to find it. This is near the honey bee hives and the small grove of sumac. I can't recall ever seeing the hue of orange/peach on the breast of this bird on any other species prior to this. beautiful. Quite a small bird. much smaller than the adjacent cowbirds! Unless noted, all birds from today:
