Painted Bunting in Brooklyn

[Christinenc2000]

Kind of a long article but this is a amazing looking bird. I imagine the locals are burning up there camera's taking pictures.


Why a Painted Bunting Landed in Brooklyn

The colorful migrating finch has become a local celebrity—and he’ll probably stay for the winter.

What a STUNNING bird he is!!! I've only ever seen one in person, and that's when we lived in Oklahoma and I had JUST started 'birding'. My jaw literally hit the floor when a male found his way to my feeder. Would love to see one (or more) again!!

Thank you for this AWESOME article, Christine!!! (And no, I won't take a trip into NY in hopes of catching a glimpse of that particular one, HAHAHAH)

Thanks for posting an excellent article! Stunning bird, no doubt the NYC press will give them great publicity!

My family and I have been so tempted to make the journey to Brooklyn to see him (we are avid birders).

What a gorgeous bird!!!!! How come we don't get them here I wonder, never seen them here in my life and I've been here in TN for many years.....My brother in law told me that he's seen more variety of birds in my back yard then his, they live out in the country side. We even have those mini bee hive in the ground within the garden, was told we have a great eco system we've built with all the planting and stuffs we've done.
