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.
For most of my time at this particular blind at the Javelina Ranch this is where the male painted bunting spent of his time; deep in the leaves and branches. Still though, his brilliant color is evident. Peñitas, Texas, June 2009
