Painted Buntings - Most Colorful Songbird Close-Up

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ม.ค. 2018
  • Mature male Painted Buntings are known as the most colorful songbirds in North America - even rivaling the gaudiest of South American and tropical birds! This male has been hanging out in the Backyard in recent days. He is one of the most stunning I've ever seen and here he gives a rare extreme close-up. In fact, he gets so close to the lens he goes out of focus a bit, but if you've ever seen a Painted Bunting you'll never forget! Note that the dark tangle of dense scrub along a fence border is classic Bunting winter habitat and the dead foliage makes him stand out in stark contrast in mid-Winter.

      I have a bird feeder in front of a window under the eave. I was amazed to see a male painted bunting land on it and hang around for awhile. They are a gorgeous work of living art made by the Living God who is the Grand Creator. Everything about Creation testifies to his power, wisdom and above all, his love.

      Three days ago I saw my first male painted bunting at age 51 in Southwest Georgia. It landed about three feet from my face and stayed there for maybe 15-20 glorious seconds. I had no idea they existed until then.

    I was fortunate to have a painted bunting on my feeder this morning for about an hour . 😆
    At first I thought it was a cardinal but was absolutely stunned when he came out of the trees and I could see all the beautiful colors!
    He must have been really hungry because the squirrels and Jays didn't faze him.

    I had a male and female Painted Bunting come into my backyard just outside the dining room window a week back. I wasn't more than five feet from the male. I had never seen one of these birds and never even knew they existed. I live just a few miles from the geographical center of Texas. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. My cousin and his wife have never seen one. I hope they will breed here and we will have the pleasure of seeing them ever now and then. We see Cardinals all the time. They are also a beautiful bird.

      The bright green birds are females and the duller green ones are immature males - they turn multi-colored in their second year.
