Painted Bunting

Here's the Painted Bunting doing better right before he flew off. They are so shy and reclusive, I never felt I would be this "up close" to one. What a blessing! I called it an Indigo Bunting the whole time, knowing full well it was a Painted Bunting.

what a beautiful looking bird... he seemed happy enough to stay put..

I could sense that he was not freaked out...but rather along the lines of "all is well and I'm safe here."

Hi Milton. I’m working on a story about painted buntings for Spectrum News. May I use about 30 seconds of this video in the segment and credit you?

[@miltonfinch4788]

Sure! I’m glad you found it worthy! Peace!

[@spi4sh_br0s-_-59]

It's not an indigo bunting
