    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.

    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...
