Hello Diann and tweeters,
When i saw the Painted Bunting in our Northwest habitat,this bird will not
fit right.I had a chance to take lot's of photosof this bird(not on the
ground,but in the trees next to the house).I must say this bird is verry
striking beautiful,but looks to exotic for our Northwest habitat.I love our
Northwest birds, never get tired looking at them.I also had twice a
Slate -colored Juncoson my patio.I always feel sad when there leaving soon
for higher elevation.Last year i had one staying to the sommer. AND I LOVE
MY YARDBIRDS!!!!!
