	SDNHM Focus on the Indigo and Lazuli Buntings
		The Lazuli Bunting was among the many spring migrants that were unusually prominent in spring 2002, perhaps compelled to seek irrigated developed areas because of drought-induced lack of food in natural habitats.
		The buntings have taken a leading role in compelling ornithologists to look more closely at just which feathers the birds are replacing when, and how the process of molt, a big demand on the physiology of a small bird, fits with the other demands of migration and breeding.
		In some Lazuli Buntings and all Indigo Buntings the body or contour feathers of the juvenile plumage are replaced by the next plumage beginning just a few days after fledging, while the juvenile flight feathers are still growing.

	Jacket 12 — Tony Baker on Basil Bunting
		So Bunting advanced Wyatt from the status of a minor poet with dubious control over his material (in 1970, Muir’s edition of the poems was still hardly canonical), to the ‘effective founder of modern English verse’ — ahead of Chaucer.
		Bunting seems to have been gifted with the kind of conviction about himself and his work that permitted him to reach directly what he needed without having to search around clumsily amongst eventual dead ends like most young writers.
		This is Bunting’s answer to the problems posed by a poet such as Spenser, who can make sounds that glitter in the ears but who too often fails to make them function structurally because he wanted them to serve, in Bunting’s view, alien rhythmic methods.
