Didn't leave many colors out of that one did He
What kind of bird? |
When God was handing out the colors this little fella kept getting back in line.

Appears to be a 'Blue Bird' of sorts. See them only in the Summer down here. Hoped some one could ID this colorfull little guy..any guesses ? :confused: |
It's a male Painted Bunting. Spends it's summers in the southern U.S.A. and northern Mexico and spends it's winters as far south as Panama.
Now all youse probably think I'm a birder or else pretty darn smart. Fact is, we never see them up here in the northern USA, so I had to look it up in Peterson's A Field Guide to the Birds East of the Rockies. :) |
Thanks for the picture. They are getting pretty rare. When I moved to East Texas 30 years ago I used to see them fairly regularly but I havnt seen one in years. I read that alot of them were getting caught for the pet trade in their winter ranges.
