Painted Bunting pics

I got several shots of my winter visitors today, so I thought I would go ahead and start a thread for them.;

I'm fairly certain so far I've have mature and immature males.

Feeder shot.

Mature male.

Another feeder shot.

Some color starting on this young one.

Beautiful male in the shrubbery.

Encore shot. Last for now.

Beautiful GP! It would be so cool to look out and see one of those pretty buntings.

Thanks, nanny. They are a little easier to see since the recent freezes browned most of the garden vegetation.

What gorgeous birds they are, GP. Thank you for the thread.

I have never seen a painted bunting, would like to do so.

Dear Garden Pom, Would you please put a sign up near your feeder pointing the way to Kissimmee for the painted buntings to see! I would really appreciate it. Thank you in anticipation Madeleine

Oh GP, I'm so jealous! These are such pretty birds. At least I get to enjoy them through your photos! Nice job!

Great pics GP! They are so beautiful!

Paint me green with envy GP! This year if there are any Painted Buntings within 4 hours of us I am going to go find them!

Thanks everyone. Hopefully I'll be able to get a few more pics tomorrow....I should be able to be out back for a few hours to birdwatch.

Wonderful little buntings. Glad you have them, to share with us. I wouldn't mind waking up, to those colorful birds.

I am SOOOOOO jealous!!! Painted Buntings nest during the summer around my area, but I've never been lucky enough to attract one to my feeders. Oh my, if I did, I'd probably have a heart attack sprinting towards the camera!! Beautiful photos and thanks for sharing your bounty with us.

Your Painted Bunting's are beautiful, we don't have them here in Oz.
These are our Rainbow Lorikeets.

Those are amazing!

Just one pic to add today.

No sighting of the mature male Painted Bunting today. Here's an Indigo.

Goldfinch and Buntings in feeder.

Have not seen the adult male Painted Bunting for two days. Here is an Indigo.

Painted Buntings, either young males or females.

Very nice!

Your painted buntings are so cute. Everyone says how nice our Aussie birds are but I think yours are just as beautiful.

GP, your buntings are beautiful. I bet they're a joy to have around. That indigo sure is pretty, even if it's not totally blue yet. You're so lucky to have these birds.

Lonely Indigo.

Hel, Love the Cockatoo!

GP, Cute Indigo Bunting!

Thanks. Just saw the male Painted again a while ago, but it's a little too chilly to be outside. Friday should be nicer, I hope he's around then.

Filled feeder.

Indigo Bunting joins in.

Gardenpom, are they the size of a sparrow or are they bigger?

Slightly longer maybe....close in size in general.

I like the yellow background color in your pictures of indigo buntings. They are sweet looking birds.

Looks' great, but the color is from all the dead foliage from the recent freezes.

Here are some more visitors to my feeder.
2 Galah's & Eastern Rosella.

That's so pretty Hel!
