I like having game cams on water. You get some interesting pics. This guy was worked up about something.

We had a bunch of them while out at the ranch last week, good looking birds. We had a female that was destroying a wasp nest, she ate all of the larvae.

One of our coolest looking birds.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I've been trying to catch a Painted Bunting for a photo for quite a few years now. Like the Yeti and the Black Panther they all continue to elude me.

One of my favorites.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Beautiful birds I have seen one up here a few years back. They are gorgeous birds to see in person.
