Painted Bunting
Painted Buntings occur from Central America and the Caribbean Islands in the south to North Carolina and Kansas in the north. They are migratory birds that occur in two isolated breeding populations. Painted Buntings occur in a variety of habitats that provide rich supplies of their favorite foods - seeds and invertebrates. They are primarily a bird of open, shrubby, or grassy vegetation with scattered trees.
