Painted bunting?

10 years ago

Good morning,
I've lived in East Central Florida for 50yrs and have never seen one of these birds. I was lucky enough to have my camera ready yesterday morning so I got a few 'OK' pictures of it. I think it's a Painted Bunting. Do you agree?

Unmistakable species. Yes, this is indeed a male Painted Bunting. Nice find. I am blessed enough to have them in my area during the breeding season.

AWESOME looking birds, they are! Thanks for sharing them. You are very blessed to have them in your yard. I have heard the green Painted Buntings referred to as "Greenies," and I didn't know that there was a foolproof way to determine by sight which Greenies are female and which are young males. Can you tell which is which?

GORGEOUS! The male is my No. 1 "wanna see" bird! I was lucky enough to see two females several years ago (way out of range here in ATL) and they really are pretty, too. Thanks for including the photos of the females, I rarely see any photos of them.

Hi there, Not sure about which part of Texas you are in, but I have 2 friends in Texas who host Painted Buntings each year. They adore White Millet. You can buy a bag of pure white millet at WBU or Tractor Supply has a mix which is largely white millet with sunflower seed mixed in.

Thank you, TMFF. I am enjoying his visits. I'm so glad I decided to put a feeder out last week. He's beautiful!
