23 July 2012 -- male Painted Bunting (Daddy)

Looks like I forgot that Nicholas had already posted a picture of a male painted bunting last month.  But here's my post anyway...

After months of trying, I finally got a picture of the male painted bunting at our backyard feeder.  The first time we saw this bird (a few years ago), we weren't really into birding, and we thought that maybe this was someone's in-house bird that happened to get out from its cage or something.  Since then, it is one of our favorite guests at our feeder because of its great colors.  The female, while not having as many colors, is just as nice to look at.
