Wayne Forsythe (Hendersonville, NC) just called from Windley Key. The Western Spindalis was seen at 4:20 PM after patient searching since 10 AM. The bird came into a thicket just left of Marker 83 (in front of the wall). It flew in from the back and was with a Northern Cardinal and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. The bird only allowed ~1 minute views, but good ones. Shortly before the bird came in, Wayne was joined by birders from Michigan and Connecticut.
