Nature Painted Bunting Too!

Painted Bunting Too! · 08:29 PM

This morning I set up my remote system and got few shots at the feeder.
This is the second year they have wintered with me.
This is with the K7 and Sigma 70-200 II HSM at 200mm

Absolute gorgeous colors, thanks for showing us, especially since I have never seen one in real life.

Thank you Heinrich. They are small, fast, timid and smart.
One of my stepsons lives in Edmonton. You guys are experiencing some brutally cold weather, yes?

We are south of Edmonton, just north of Calgary. Didn't get quite as cold here, I belive the low last night was -32C here.

Good feeder shot of a colourful little bird, nice one

I can't get over how cold it is for the Canadians lately, -32C...!

Thanks for the kind words.
Hopefully this is just the first of a whole season full of shots.
