This past year we had at least 4 pair of nesting Painted Buntings on the ranch. Yesterday was the last day for Sherry and I to see the remaining male coming to the feeder.
The story is that male Painted Buntings depart south Texas on or before August 8. However I was also told that birds on the EP may remain a little longer.
With the last of our adult males gone, the feeder is now overflowing with the juvenile Painted Buntings - at least 6 to 8 birds.
