A29C8571 Painted Bunting (m) Passerina citris
Conservation status: Near Threatened (Population decreasing)
This bird is only 5 inches long. Tiny.
This year, when I arrived at my favorite painted bunting location to try and get more photos of this highly addictive bird, I was disappointed to find that the land owner had chopped down the dead tree that made an excellent perch for this bird. The dead tree had no leaves to obscure the bird and ruin the lighting. Also, the branches of the dead tree were far out front of the distant background of green, which would give me nice out of focus backgrounds. So this year, I had to try to deal with all the problems of photographing a tiny bird in deep foliage. And extreme Texas heat and humidity. (and fire ants and chiggers and biting flies). In other words, bird photography.
