Nice Gene.. Are they still around and coming in daily for water and getting up on perches?

James, I was at the ranch about 10 days ago and they were. For some reason unknown to me, the males tend to mostly disappear around this time and you only see the females and their young. The first to third week of May, in my opinion, tends to be the best time to photograph Painted Buntings.
