Painted Buntings - Nature's Bird Jewels

Male Painted Buntings - the most beautiful songbirds in North America - have been increasing in the Backyard in recent weeks as they begin their migration back north. They are hungry and I was fortunate to catch a group of them feeding alone. Enjoy!
Sometimes called the "Nonpareil," meaning "unrivalled," a fair way to describe the unbelievable colors of the male Painted Bunting. This species is locally common in the Southeast, around brushy areas and woodland edges. It is often secretive, staying low in dense cover. However, males sing their bright warbling songs from higher in the trees, partly hidden among foliage or sometimes out in the sun on an exposed perch. Some lucky Floridians have Painted Buntings coming to their bird feeders in winter.
Surveys show declining numbers in recent decades. Nests are frequently parasitized by cowbirds. Often captured and kept as a cagebird on wintering grounds in tropics.

Ohh, how I would love to see these beauties in person. Or bird, in this case. I'd give anything to hear these lovelies singing at our window, wishing us a good morning every day.
