Painted Bunting

Passerina ciris

Perhaps no other North American songbird rivals the beauty of the male Painted Bunting. Their coloring seems as if only the brightest colors in the crayon box were used to represent this ornate gem. First year males and females, though not as flashy, are shaded in tones of lime-green hues.

Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma and northeastern Mexico are the primary locations these birds migrate in spring to breed, but the coastal slopes of South Carolina, Georgia and northern Florida also host a breeding summer population. When summer passes and it’s time to move to warmer climates, they head south into places like southern Mexico and Central America, or south Florida and Cuba.

Traditional science classified two subspecies; P. c. pallidior in the interior, and P. c. ciris in the east. Recent studies cast doubt about the validity of this distinction, so many who study these sorts of things now believe that the Indigo Bunting is monotypic (i.e. no subspecies).

I was hoping to meet the male Painted Bunting in Texas, but this young lady was a nice consolation prize. My third visit to Atascosa NWR in South Texas was intended to pickup images of a couple of the birds I came up short with on my second visit. But then I started meeting new birds and I stayed all day.

Painted Buntings are some of the most gaudy birds on the planet and always draw the attention of bird-loving humans. With spring migration on South Padre Island (Texas) picking up, there’s no other place I’d rather be in April.

I didn't see any female buntings, but the males were busy showing off. On my trip home from Texas in 2020, I stopped at this picnic area and met birds. It proved to be a good place to meet them again in 2021. It took me five days to putt my way out of Texas. I stopped along the road a few times to visit the birds.
