Some of the prettiest birds in my area. The cardinals all have bright, vivid colors and beautiful songs. The cousin of the cardinal, the pyrrhuloxia, is equally as colorful and of course the buntings and grosbeaks look like they had paint spilled on them. Many are spring and summer visitors while the cardinals are here in my area all year.
If there were ever a bird that resembles what a bird would look like if it rolled around on a painter's palette, it would be the painted bunting. I caught this thirsty and hot one at the Javelina Ranch. Peñitas, Texas, June 2009
