Painted Bunting Bath
Here are a few more shots from my recent trip to south Texas. I had a few opportunities to photograph one of the most colorful little birds...the Painted Bunting. I am also including the female. She is not as colorful, but I really like her green color.

I took all sorts of shots of them, but this series is about them taking a little bath.
