It's really hard to capture birds! <BR/><BR/>I haven't seen any painted buntings here, but we do have indigo buntings during the summer who happily partake of our birdfeeders' bounties. I love seeing them and have tried to photograph them without success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1154839867436452822006-08-05T23:51:00.000-05:002006-08-05T23:51:00.000-05:00Wow Annie, you sure were quick to catch a shot of ...Wow Annie, you sure were quick to catch a shot of the bunting. You must have great reflexes :) I saw an indigo bunting once, years ago. I don't think I've ever seen a painted bunting, except in photos.

Ever since, I've hoped to see one and it's been a long wait! <BR/><BR/>Our house is not large and has only one story, so I could get the camera fast. There were no special skills involved - just dumb luck.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what he liked? They're supposed to eat seeds and insects, which are in good supply around here.Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1154708185704333262006-08-04T11:16:00.000-05:002006-08-04T11:16:00.000-05:00I've never seen a Painted Bunting.

I once went whale-watching and captured 12 shots of waves cresting. No whales. Darn digital lag.<BR/><BR/>Glad you shared this photo!LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1154655183758178192006-08-03T20:33:00.000-05:002006-08-03T20:33:00.000-05:00What reflexes to photo the bird on the wing!

I thought it would be cool if that spread out and lots of bloggers did a post on that, kind of like a "meme" which I don't really understand fully. I felt like my little blog lacked the reach and audience to start such a thing or else I just forgot to mention it. Maybe you were reading my mind.<BR/><BR/>I went to Zanthan blog and that brought back a discussion from way back on GW about the subject, where yes there are many places, particularly in warm climates where gardens are designed for viewing from inside.Christopher C.
