Eating Seeds in the Bushes
The Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) resides at Circle B Bar Reserve from about January until April each winter. This little guy was munching on the seeds that are visible in the picture. The bush had no leaves but foreground twigs can be seen in his wing area. He measures only about 5 1/4 inches from beak-tip to tail-tip. Definitely one of the prettier birds we come across.
