Met an older lady last August on a trip to Florida while shooting at the Loxahatchee reserve. We started talking about birds and she told me painted buntings visited her feeders all winter. I had never seen one, and she was nice enough to give me her phone number. When I was visiting Florida for Thanksgiving, I called her, and sure enough she said they were there and come over. My wife loves birds also and she and I spent a lovely morning watching the buntings come to her feeder. She keeps millet in her home made cage to keep out the house sparrows.

Very pretty bird with good color pop. Knock out some of that background noise, and I think the photo will look even nicer.

It's a beauty! There's a little noise in the image that takes away from the score.

Splendid! I just found out that my maiden name, in English, is Bunting!
