Meet the Painted Bunting!

This lovely bird migrates down to South Texas in the fall and will head north again in the spring, just like many of our Winter Texan friends, so we are ready to keep our eyes out for all friends coming home to South Texas. While they breed in Central and Eastern US, they spend the winter here and further south into Central America.

The female and first year males are a yellow-green color. The male looks like a box of crayons with wings! He isn't hard to spot among the natural habitats of our area, that's for sure!
