Painted Bunting

The Painted Bunting is a small, brightly colored bird found in North America, particularly in the southeastern United States during the breeding season. Males have striking plumage with vibrant blue, green, and red hues, while females are more subdued with olive-green and yellow tones. These birds are known for their beautiful song and are a favorite among birdwatchers. A fun fact about Painted Buntings is that they undergo a molt after breeding season, with males losing their colorful feathers and resembling females until the following spring.
