SURPRISED BY A WELCOME VISITOR

Hope you all have been having a wonderful spring! I am participating in Outdoor Wednesday over at A Southern Daydream. Be sure and check out all the wonderful posts. Just wanted to share who has been stopping in at my backyard feeder!! He is a very welcome handsome visitor....very shy and elusive. Painted Buntings will be gone in a instant if startled. I have been keeping an eye out for the female, but have yet to see her. Maybe she is nesting and there will be little painted buntings!










I think he is one of the prettiest birds I have ever seen. The female is also unusually pretty...being a pale lime green.

Wishing you a wonderful spring and summer filled with surprises also! Please leave a comment as I would love to hear from you.
