Painted Bunting in the winter....What?

So look what my friend saw on her feeder the other day. It is a Painted Bunting....IT'S WINTER! That is snow next to that bird. WOW! Holy smokes I could hardly believe it. She keeps White Millet in this feeder. Usually we see buntings only in the spring, summer, and into fall. Thank you Diana, for letting me post your photo.
