A Painted Bunting entertained us with a cheery song from a perch above our heads on Friday. These are not great images but the bird’s colors are pretty amazing.
If he was trying to attract a mate there weren’t any takers and after about five minutes he went on his way.
For a better look at a Bunting’s colors see my post from a couple weeks ago: Male Painted Bunting, Two Views
In your 2nd photo I like the Bunting against the colourful abstract background, there’s something quite playful there that appeals to me!
Thanks for saying so, Liz! I was shifting left and right to get the bird lined up with the trees, hoping not to scare him off.
