What part of town? I saw my first ones in about 30 years a couple months
ago in
78745, a male/female pair flitting about a brush pile in the backyard (hey
it's
south Austin!) I hope to see them more often.

I forgot to post this when it occurred (about 2 weeks ago). My family and
I
spotted 2 Painted buntings in my back yard (both males). One was at the
very
back, inside a hedge (at the edge of it) and the other flew up to a
blue-point juniper right next to my kitchen window, but stayed only
briefly.
As it flew away, I thought I saw a third fly with it, but it was so
brief, I
wasn't sure it was a bunting. The one in the hedge stayed for quite a
time.

Beautiful birds...
