Not my photos, sadly. Taken in Pittsburgh by Jonas Wisser and posted on Mastodon at the link below. I’m posting them here with permission.

Anyway, the brightly colored small bird at the feeder is a painted bunting, a fabulous-looking bird I have wanted to see all my life but figured I never would because it lives in the south, I mean far south. But look! This one somehow strayed into the wrong end of Pennsylvania and has been visiting someone’s feeder for weeks. Luckies!

(Yells out the window—Come on, juncos, step up your game!)

"Sometimes called the 'Nonpareil,' meaning 'unrivalled,' a fair way to describe the unbelievable colors of the male Painted Bunting. This species is locally common in the Southeast, around brushy areas and woodland edges. It is often secretive, staying low in dense cover. However, males sing their bright warbling songs from higher in the trees, partly hidden among foliage or sometimes out in the sun on an exposed perch. Some lucky Floridians have Painted Buntings coming to their bird feeders in winter."
