Field Notes
Description:
The first picture is a male and the second is a female. Painted Buntings are known for their vibrant fusion of blue, green, yellow, and red. Summer is the best time to catch these birds in San Marcos when they fly into the area to breed during the hot summer months.
Habitat:
Painted Buntings breed in dense brush, next to grassy areas or forest edges. During migration and winter they favor dense, weedy habitats as well as the understory of semi-open forest.
