Painted Bunting, Male 24 Jun 06
Turned the sprinkler on and everyone showed up for their Saturday baths. That is why his feathers are not nice and neat in these two photos. I let a patch of yard grow without mowing and there are a lot of birds, like the bunting, that love the seeds from the grasses and weeds. Also left a large tree branch that broke off during storm that blew thru in early May 06 for the birds to use. Has turned out great for both the birds and our picture taking.
