I was excited to see my first ever painted bunting this spring, and several others since then; all on different visits to Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park. I haven’t captured a NatGeo-esque photo of one yet, but I was happy to get this one today, showing its beautiful colors on display. If you would like to see your first one, too, check out the park.

Wow, so beautiful! I guess after your first sighting your eye catches others. I’ve never been a serious bird-watcher. Lovely!
Thank you Susanne. It’s mostly an excuse for me to get out and hike and explore. 🙂
