I think all the superlatives have been used already so how about I share a childhood memory that you pulled from deep within?
I'm so tickled you shared that shot because I've only seen a single Painted Bunting. When I was 8 years old, I had a plastic model of a male. The model was assembled with glue, just like a model car. Unlike model cars the bird models came with a set of paints of appropriate colors. I think it was paint by numbers. When it was done, I didn't believe there really was a living bird with all those bright colors. Thanks for the proof!
I doubt I'd given any thought about that model since I was 8 years old. Thank you for sharing and thanks for the memory.
