You are so fortunate to get this beautiful bird at your feeder! I had to really work for the few I've photographed in the past years :?
Lovely photo...love its color against the green leaf!

Thanks for the compliments. This was my first posting o UHH. The only other place I have posted nature pictures is on Facebook, for my kids. I am visiting them in Maryland for Christmas and New Years. I may post some more when I return home to Florida. I am pretty much a novice. Started a couple of years ago after my wife passed away.

Rene'spictures Loc: me to know you to find out :)

I need to update my profile. I have just bstarted posting, though I have been lurking/reading here for a while. I live in the Sebring/Avon Park area. Rural, about 70 miles SW of Orlando, and about 70miles east of Tampa.

I enjoy finding Painted Buntings when I am in Florida ... or South Georgia or the South Carolina coast ..... If you see someone with a big white lens taking photos at your feeders don't worry about it ... could be me! :-)
