Painted bunting sighting

I saw a painted bunting in my yard today! This is only the second one I have ever seen. The first was at South Llano River State Park. Sitting on the porch reading a magazine and glanced up to see this little jewel.

Awesome! I have actually seen one in my yard, as well, though that was about 2 and a half years ago -- shortly after we moved in (which of course made me erroneously think I lived in a painted bunting hotbed for awhile... ) They're beautiful birds -- so vibrant in color you have to take a double take to realize just how many colors of the spectrum they're sporting.

They're prevalent in the Valley, but it's a wonderful treat to see them elsewhere in the state.
