Departure of the Painted Buntings

without comments

A few years after we bought the ranch the first pair of painted buntings arrived - the most colorful, amazing little birds. Each year they leave in the fall and return in the spring. This year we had two pair of mature birds and they each raised a family.

Last weekend they were here and this weekend they are gone. Our birds are part of the western population so they are likely on their way as I am writing this to northern Mexico and may go as far south to Panama.
