  1. Hi Karen, Wow! it looks a bit like a Reed Bunting to me but I'm not certain, however, I know a man who will be able to tell you. I will leave a message on my pal Warren's sight and ask him to take a look.

  5. No Problem karen any time! As for the Reed Bunting, they do visit gardens in the winter months when food is scarce, but they are certainly not common.
