Much more common in OK and TX and far Western AR, and scarce here are the beautiful Painted Buntings. I saw nesting pair this morning here and was able to take a few photos.

If you find these birds along a dry road with a fence with brush against the fence posts, you may be able to find a Painted Bunting.
