The Painted bunting is a small brightly-colored member of the cardinal family. The males are brightly colored with blue, green, red and yellow plumage. Females and juveniles are bright green with pale rings around their eyes. The male is considered by many to be North America's most beautiful bird, and they are one of the most popular visitors to bird feeders. Painted buntings are one of the most spectacularly colored and visually impressive birds in the United States and are the only U.S. bird with a blue head along with red underparts.
Painted Buntings are still fairly common, but populations have been dropping for several decades. The North American Breeding Bird Survey estimated a decline of 62% between 1966 and 1995, but the 1966-2014 survey does not find significant decreases, suggesting that populations may have stabilized, or at least the decline has slowed, since 1995. Partners in Flight estimates a global breeding population of 13 million, with 80% spending at least part of the year in the U.S., and 51% in Mexico. The species rates a 12 out of 20 on the Continental Concern Score, and is not on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List. Painted Bunting is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
Found this male in Lake Wales, Polk County, Florida.
We were looking for a Bobcat on the Madison River after lunch. Then she trotted along the opposite bank in heavy snow. A female Coyote (Canis latrans) hunting for rodents and keeping an eye on the water. Not sure what caused the nasty gash on her left front leg - a snare? a fence? No idea, but it had ripped the fur off and exposed her raw muscle. This tough Canid didn't miss a beat though, and we photographed her for almost an hour as she made her way down the river bank, bounding through snow drifts and navigating the narrow stretch of exposed vegetation and rock.

When we first laid eyes on our puppy (a little over a year before this image of her was taken), the color told us immediately that her name must be Sedona. So, when we had a chance to take her there, of course she had to have multiple photo shoots in the region. This is one of the images from along the Oak Creek, after enduring a long 4x4 adventure that she didn't particularly enjoy, she was pleased to relax and take in the view from a stable seated position.
Congrats on Explore!

In der schönen Hacienda von Sotuta de Peon scheint die Zeit stehen geblieben zu sein. Man fühlt sich, als wäre man in das 19. Jahrhundert zurückversetzt worden, als die Faser Henequen quer über den Yucatan kultiviert und auf der ganzen Welt verkauft wurde. Die Architektur wurde ebenso erhalten wie der dampfbetriebene Schornstein, der Lagerraum für die Henequen und ein Eisenbahnnetz von Deauville, wo die kleinen Karren von Hennequen von Maultieren gezogen wurden. Es ist eine der wenigen Haciendas in Yucatan, wo Hennequen noch produziert wird.
