thoughts on the ivory gull "invasion". Carrion feeders. Large carrion. This implies a crash in either seal or Polar Bear pops(or both) in the arctic.

Painted Bunting

During an afternoon walk in Flamingo, Everglades National Park i fortuned apon this Painted Bunting bathing in the a puddle in the parking lot by the cabins, which may have been destroyed by Hurricane Wilma.
