Photograph by Fenichel: Painted Bunting (male) A colorful small bird is perched on a tree branch, facing us. He has a rainbow of colors, a blue head with an orange/pink eye ring and white beak, then a band of green/yellow feathers on its back, and its lower back/tail feathers a pattern of black and pink. Under its blue head, the front of its neck and chest/belly is all red. The background is scrub and trees.

Painted Bunting
Finally found one ... this bird has not been easy to find or photograph! Bucket list ✓
This is the male, with the female being a pale green.
I also found a large group of migratory indigo buntings, the males being the signature vivid blue, females brown.
TBC.
Happy spring/nesting season!
Always nice to appreciate and enjoy the world of (non-human) nature.
