Nice work with a very attractive bird. Thanks for posting--I don't think we have those kinds of critters here in central Indiana.

I got very lucky this morning and found a wonderfully friendly and curious Painted Bunting along a country road in Anderson TX. I spent 20-30 minutes with him. What fun!

Shot with my 7DII and 100-400mm with 1.4 extender. ISO 400, 1/250, f7.1-f/9.

Laura...these are exquisite...among the best Painted Bunting photos I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!

What an honor to spend time with that beautiful creature. Your images are awesome. I remember seeing one of these in a watercolor book as a child. I thought they were imaginary.
