Painted bunting

Gallery: AvianPosted December 22, 2013680 views6 comments

D7100, Sigma 150-500 OS, fill flash at -1.7., 1/500 at f8, ISO 800.

This male painted bunting has been around my yard for the last week or so. This is the most unusual shot I've captured so far.

There are more images and excessive bloviation about this bird at my blog, if you're interested. Thanks for looking. Critiques are appreciated.

Neat post sand composition - a good way to show off the unique back color of this species.
