This is just the second time ever that I've seen a Painted Bunting. So wished he had turned around, but was thrilled to get the colors from the back - he's a remarkably colorful bird
Isn't nature amazing! Such colorful feathers. Maybe you will get the front next time. I just missed a vivid orange oriole yesterday. He booked in the middle of my focusing!
But you got a great shot even though it didn't turn around. This way when you get a front shot you can put the two together in a collage to show the whole thing. Well done.
What a beautiful and colourful bird! Well done for managing to capture him. I had to laugh at your title but I hope you get your wish to get a front view one day.
Great find and shot.
