Good Morning, The Painted Bunting showed up on Wakefield Lane in  
Bowie, MD. this morning about 7:35 AM and stayed in the area until I  
left a little after nine. He left the feeder whenever another bird  
would fly in... except chipping sparrows. I was surprised to hear him  
singing while he was tucked back in the tangle of vegetation. Singing  
very softly but singing and wondering where all the female Painted  
Buntings are. A few photos are at this link.
