Merry Christmas Bangles ~ Merry Merry

Spotted this little cutie at UCSC Arboretum and as tiny and quick as he was, I didn’t notice all the banding until I looked at him on the iPad. I’m amazed they can fly with them. I realize the bangles/bands are lightweight but So are they 🙂 I guess he was wearing his Christmas best in wearing his brightly colored bangles. I hope you and yours are having the most wonderful holidays!

That's really a lovely photo. Like they always say, "Bands make the bird." And wishing you and your family the best of holidays.

How sweet - and how cool to capture him in all his finery!

[Jane Anderson]

Very sweet! It's the banding and counting that keep the species safe.

Lovely sharp shot. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family:)

Never seen a bird with so many rings, maybe he collects them?

[Milanie]

He is quite dressed up, isn't he! Nice tones here.
