With these objectives, we hope to determine the abundance and distribution of Painted Buntings at backyard feeders and to attempt to detect population patterns across the coastal-inland and suburban-rural landscapes. We hope to find out if there are differences in how males and females use feeders, and to determine how important backyard feeders are as a food resource for Painted Buntings. Ultimately, we want to find out why the species is in decline and do something about it. We also hope to improve/enhance citizen awareness for the conservation o
