Painted Bunting

May 26, 2019  •  Leave a Comment

The Painted Bunting is a rare southern visitor to Nova Scotia usually seen at feeders. It's a durable bird, one having successfully overwintered in Nova Scotia with a great deal of human help.

I photographed this example of an adult male from the window of a home thanks to the owners. I was not close to the bird but I wasn't going to use longer focal lengths since it would have required a tripod(definitely not polite in a private home).
