Theresa Sierra snapped this photo of a male painted bunting at her home in Land O’ Lakes. Sierra said the bird is a yearly visitor, and prior to migrating further south, he and the female bunting produce about two clutches (total eggs a bird lays each nesting attempt). Painted buntings enjoy small wild birdseed and millet, too. As an animal spirit, the painted bunting represents knowledge and intelligence, and a reminder to add color and vitality to your life.
