    Males take two years to acquire their outrageously bright multi-colored plumage. In their first year, they are usually indistinguishable from the overall greenish females. At the water feature.

    Painted Bunting

    My first bird at the parking lot was a harbinger of a major migration fallout. Adult males are outrageously multi-colored but females and immature males are usually indistinguishable. Here the fresh primary coverts suggest an adult female. "P. c. pallidior" is the smaller, paler western race...

    I did upload a video of this bird, but I feel he also deserves a photo for his water-throwing efforts!

All three previous mainland San Francisco records are from late September. This extremely drab individual is a juvenile and probably female. The greenish tint on...

    Painted Bunting with dilute plumage? Key Largo, FL

    Hello! I am curious about this bird I saw on my feeders this morning. It looks to be a Painted Bunting, which we do get them in the fall & winter, but it has very dilute plumage and slight color variation. I've searched for examples online but have not found any to come close to the bird I...

    My Painted Buntings has left but I had one make a pit stop. I put my cage back over the feeder but they have not returned. It's said they are so shy and this helps.

    I never thought in a million years that the stick on window feeders would "work." Not only do they work, but I have several species using them and almost don't care about humans being on the other side! Great way for my kids to experience song birds up close!

    She never appeared like she was molting. Beautiful from the start and I didn't realize that the female had a yellow belly and a course green plumage.

    painted bunting, female

    I haven't been able to get out to the bird parks lately, so it's always good when the painted buntings come to you. This photo doesn't really do this pretty bird justice. If you look closely at this species, the females have many of the same colors of the males, but they are more subtle and...
