There have been a couple of birds that have taken my breath away as they standout in the crowd of colorful birds. This one, the Painted Bunting, has to top them all. The blues, reds and yellows, oh my! This bird has it all. You would think it was a tropical bird and maybe it is, living in a swath of Texas/Oklahoma over to Florida and south into Mexico and Central America. Just a beautiful bird. This one was an easy find as it is a feeder bird and therefore hanging around the Merritt Island Visitor Center. That area is well worth a visit if you are anywhere near the Space Coast area of Florida.
