Painted Bunting pics

Those are adorable shots GP...now that they are fed and bathed...send them my way please!!

It won't be long before they head North, Rose. Sitting here typing I can see the beautiful male at the feeder. After today I'll have three days off should be able to get some more pics.

Indigo and Painted Bunting at the feeder this morning.

Three Indigos.

Nicely colored Indigo.

Very nice shots GP!

Oh my, I'm so jealous! These sure are beautiful birds! Great photos!

I guess I just take them for granted now, yet I know there are lots of people who would love to see a Painted Bunting. As long as they want to keep visiting me in the winter, I will keep getting them their favorite millet. Thanks, Pelle and duc. I hope when they head North some of the rest of you can see them.

I am going to actually get a caged feeder like yours GP so they will feel at home when they get here. My old caged one is so ugly and yours makes a really nice picture, if you know what I mean. I even got a really tall shepherds hook for them and put it in the same spot that the Indigos have always fed in the past. If I knew when they would arrive I would be out there to welcome them with open arms.

I got mine from Duncraft, nanny. Make sure you get one without a bottom pan, so the seed falls through. Otherwise the collected seed entices squirrels.

Single Indigo.

Nice one GP!

Thanks. I'm looking outside now and there are two male Painted Buntings at the feeders along with females and Indigos. Lots' of activity....too bad it is so cloudy here, bad for picture-taking.

Just a few more pics from today.

Always glad to see the beautiful male Painted Bunting.

Two of them here.

Charming Indigo.

Last one....Indigos with another one about to join in.

Lovely pics GP! They are all so pretty!

Thanks, Pelle. Glad they are still here. I just received 2 five pound bags of Millet seed for them via UPS.

All beautiful, GP

Thank you, Margaret.

Sweet one.

Aww, that is sweet!

Yes, that is a sweet shot!

Thanks, Pelle and Rose. Here are a couple shots taken today.

2nd shot 3/26.

Nice ones GP!

Not seeing as many now, most have probably headed North. Here are a few.

Those Indigos really stand out.

Bath time again.

Getting really wet.

At least one male Painted Bunting is still here.

Last pic. This one was near where I was.

Wonderful pictures. I wish we had painted buntings here. We usually see the first indigos in mid-to-late April and they are plentiful in the summer. I am always amazed at the variation in shade of the males' plumage. They range from nearly turquoise to....indigo!

Thanks. I'm going to miss these birds...but it gives me something to really look forward to each fall when they arrive.

Yummy pics, GP.

So cute GP!! I especially love the last shot.

Just beautiful GP...really makes me more determined to see a Painted this year. I sure hope the Indigos show up too!!

I just love your photos. They look so cute in the bath and that last one is just adorable.
