        Flat out gorgeous birds. Hey Bill, do you know what their range is? We see several cardinals and a healthy amount of bluebirds in the spring but that’s about as colorful as we get.

        I’d love to see some of these birds up here in NTx.

          I call them "Gods rainbow bird". Here is a link that shows their range. They especially like white millet seed.

          With their vivid fusion of blue, green, yellow, and red, male Painted Buntings seem to have flown straight out of a child’s coloring book. Females and immatures are a distinctive bright green with a pale eyering. These fairly common songbirds breed in the coastal Southeast and in the south-central U.S., where they often come to feeders. They are often caught and sold illegally as cage birds, particularly in Mexico and the Caribbean, a practice that puts pressure on their breeding populations.

            Oh wow! That’s encouraging. We keep a mix of black sunflower, safflower seed and millet out fairly consistently for the songbirds.

            Thanks BTW

                        I used to see a few on a lease I had near Glen Rose on the Brazos years ago. Beautiful creatures.
