Greetings All:
Painted Buntings are a relatively common breeder, in wooded areas,
throughout the more wooded portions of our region (Floyd, Motley,
Lubbock, Crosby, Dickens, Garza, and Kent Counties). Indigo Buntings
are more localized breeders, preferring even more heavily wooded
habitat in the eastern portions of our region ( Motley, Crosby,
Dickens, and Kent Counties). The woods north of White River Lake
feature the largest known breeding population of Indigo Buntings in
the region. There is some evidence that either Lazuli Buntings
summered in the region (Lubbock County, below Lake Six) last year or a
Lazuli Bunting attempted hybridization with another bunting at the
site.
I apologize for any grammatical or spelling errors - it is Friday night:)

Warblers should be finishing up.
Painted buntings and blue grosbeaks are summer breeders here so we will get
to enjoy them!!

Incredible picture. Birding is the best medicine!!
So how long do the buntings hang out here? Also the warblers. I would’ve
thought they were heading north by now.
