Whats a Painted Bunting?
The Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) is a neotropical migratory song bird that breeds in two distinct populations, one in the southeastern United States, the other in the Midwest. Males are unmistakable with blue, red, green, and yellow. Females and immature males are almost entirely green. Juveniles that have recently fledged the nest are overall drab to olive brown with buffy under parts. Females and young males both are Green and we refer to them both as “Green birds”.
