Very lucky to see this painted Bunting. When I saw it I had no idea what it was but those colors just jump out at you. Even with it's tiny size it makes it very visible.
Thank you Ben, it sure feels like it.Sweet set, You are in a birders paradise.
Thank you Alan, I actually had to desaturate those images to make them look normal.The colors on the painted bunting are amazing - both in flight as well as perched. The palm warbler shots are also well done - nice details.
All luck in the timing. I was focused on him as he was taking off and it's a bit of a crop as he is very tiny. I was also lucky to find him, if he wasn't so bright I would have walked right on by.Wow! How did you capture #1? That's an amazing shot! In flight and in the brush? Great timing on this and great technique. That's a bird that would be on my Top 5 of wanting to see.
You are the very best, thank you very much for the honor.
