Painted Bunting and a follower

Snapped this pic about an hour ago through a dirty and screened window of a Painted Bunting near Austin. These aren't rare but rarely eat out of feeders in populated areas. As I was trying to get a decent pic I saw movement underneath and found this fellow. The kids had a good time seeing it. It then went on his way, up the tree and coiled up for the night outside my daughter's window. She thinks it's pretty cool.
