🟢🔵🔴 Calling all Painted Bunting hosts!

Researchers with Archbold Biological Station and the University of Georgia are looking for Florida locations where Painted Buntings are visiting feeders regularly and reliably this fall.

Graduate student Diane Klement is studying feather molt in Painted Buntings. One hypothesis is that some Painted Buntings may use Florida as a molt stopover—replacing their feathers here before continuing on to their wintering grounds. If so, Florida could be especially important to the conservation of this beautiful and rapidly declining species.

Diane hopes to safely mist-net participating birds, document and score their molt, and then release them.

Do you have Painted Buntings coming to your feeder regularly? If you’re in our area—or elsewhere in Florida—and have reliable Painted Bunting activity, please consider reaching out to the researchers. Contact information and additional details are included in the attached message from Archbold.

And please share this with any Florida birders, homeowners, or feeder-watchers you know who regularly host Painted Buntings! 🐦

📷 Have you started seeing Painted Buntings return to your yard yet this fall? Let us know in the comments! Share any photos if you have them!
