Painted Bunting

Appreciated Kim Sy Ok

Amazing colors-love it :))!! l/f

Thanks for looking David - very hard to get within 15 yards and they won't sit still. Exasperating critters to capture.

They already have a few, but if you ever publish one let me know!

It needs to be in the bird books!!

I'm not sure pictures do them justice and I caught him in full noon light (difficult), but I'm also not sure one could take a bad picture of them as they are so colorful. The female at first glance looks kind of plain but a close photo reveals irridecent colors. I'll try to post one of the female but it won't stay posted as I'm not real fond of the capture. Thanks for the look Judy!

What a beautiful bird!!!

That is one good looking bird! Having him in his natural environment makes this special to me. - v/f/su

Thanks for the look Diana!

Thanks Kim!

Great capture, Robert!

Thank you very much Sue! Appreciate the fv

Great capture of this beautiful bird, Robert! F/V

I've found they will be concentrated in a few areas and seemingly extinct in others. One of the hardest for me to find and get close to. Thank you for the look Alana!

what color!!! amazing would love to see once in person...guess I need to visit my home state for that!!

Thank you Sharon -- can't argue about that!

Isn't mother nature just awesome...

Wow! You show so beautifully the myriad of colors on this beautiful bird! Love it. v/f
