We heard from Ben in June (in the midst of our move!) and he sent this map of the route of the bunting. Maybe it belonged to the western population of Painteds as it was headed southwest.

More catch-up - Posted 8/31/2018
Almost two years ago we heard from Ben Oldfield in Ontario about a Painted Bunting that was banded there on 9/12/16 and outfitted with a MOTUS tag (more info here http://motus.org) MOTUS is a collaborative automated radio telemetry array used to track small animals. Long Point Bird Observatory banded the hatch year Painted Bunting and added the MOTUS tag as part of their program to track vagrant birds.
