The Painted Bunting French name, nonpareil, meaning ‘having no equal’, fairly describes the spectacular blue, green, and red colors of the male Painted Bunting. Common in the Southeast United States, the Painted Bunting is often secretive, staying in low dense cover around busy areas and woodland edges. In South Carolina, ‘Old Man Bunting’ nearly broke the record for the oldest Painted Bunting recorded at 14 years. Lucky Floridians may have the Painted Bunting frequent their feeder in the winter.
