Painted Buntings
So for yesterdays Flower Friday post I did some wildflowers from Cotulla Texas, today I have the Painted Buntings I also saw that day, I’m pretty sure the olive colored ones are females but I may be wrong so comments are encouraged..;-)
The sad thing about this post is that this year I went back to the exact location to look for new and better pics and the lot where all the tall grass was growing was gone! The lot where the Buntings and Western Meadowlarks used to fees has been cut down and graded for a hotel…..WHAT A BUMMER!!!!

Aw, that is just sad! I would imagine they are females. We don’t have painted buntings here, but according to the field guide they look right. Amazingly lovely birds!

lovely photos.. well i guess the olive colored ones are females too, usually in birds, i think the males are the ones colorful.
