The Gaudy Painted Buntings. They're Back!

What do you think of this brillant-colored neotropical, migratory songbird found in Louisiana? For me, the vibrant-colored Painted Bunting appears as if it should be found in a Rain Forest along with Parrots / Parakeets and not in brushy fields with areas of dense undergrowith.

What do you think of its multi-colored eye ring? Is this fascinating or what? If you look closely at its eye ring you see red, yellow, blue and green colors.

It is a special day whenever this small, colorful songbird appears with its sweet warble makes his debut.
