"A-Bunting We Will Go"

This play on Thomas Arne's 1777 folk song notes our confirmation that we have at least one and perhaps even a family of Painted Bunting on Chipco Preserve. This beautiful song bird is a protected species in Florida as their numbers have been in decline due to habitat loss and human predation.
