The Buntings


The buntings were not just a passing fancy; they have been coming every day to the feeder area. They seem to prefer ground-feeding over feeder-feeding, and seem to be very shy birds. My bird book says they are the "most gaudily colored" of American birds, and I am saddened by that word choice; they are not gaudy, they're just gorgeous!
