Greetings All:
A veritable wave of Painted Buntings is moving through my region.
Yesterday, during roughly nine hours of birding in Hockley County (where
there are very sites likely to support breeding Painted Buntings) I spotted
at least 14 adult females, 26 adult males, and 18 immature Painted Buntings.
Upon my return to my home in Lubbock, I was greeted by an adult male
Painted Bunting (accidental to my yard) jousting with the House Finches and
House Sparrows.
A bit later, at a function in northeast Lubbock, I spotted an additional
two adult males at Spirit Ranch.
Somewhere, earlier this season, some Painted Buntings got seriously busy:)
