Male Painted Bunting


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick   		Male Painted Bunting
Male Painted Bunting
Out looking for birds to photograph in the Texas Hill Country I spotted the Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris). No other bird looks this way. The males have distinctive blue head, red chest, greenish yellow back and the wings and tail are gray. These males are very territorial and will fight other males for their territory. Taken with Canon 20D, ISO 400, 300 mm Focal length, F/8 and 1/500 sec

Phyllis A. Houghton 		  Beautiful bird and so special that we get to see both sides of him. Terrific details, lighting and comp. You are giving me a new impression of Texas. We've only gone across the panhandle a few times and didn't see any green then, except in the cities. Very nice captures.
