Rainbow-colored bird draws bird watchers to Vermont town

(AP) — Bird watchers have flocked to a small town in Vermont hoping to catch a glimpse of the painted bunting, a rare bird described as a "flying rainbow" that normally doesn't fly north of the Carolinas on the East Coast.

Painted buntings are more noticeable than some of the other birds out of range because of their plumage and visits to feeders because they're seed eaters, he said.
