Ali, Yasinskiy & Paul -

 

Thank you.

Would make a Painted Bunting blush!

Stuart,

 

Terrific shot! How far away from the bird were you? TIA.

With that colorful make-up, anyone would look attractive!

very beautiful shot, Stuart; and the bokeh is so nice!

You're right. It is. Beautiful shot, excellent bokeh.

Jim, Tony, Keith, Jeff, Louis & Brent - Thank you.

 

K-H - Thank you. Two or three meters, I'd guess, shot through an open window of our vehicle -- We had stopped briefly so I could get the shot.

This would make a good descriptive image for a birding book.

Thank you.

Nice, of course, but what I want to know is how long does it take to put on her make-up before heading-off to work ?

[stuny]

Ingrid - Thank you.

 

Al - Thank you. Actually, it's a male, but in this species both genders apply makeup, with the males taking twice as long - 90 minutes. This gives new meaning to the adage, "The early bird gets the carcass."
