Painted Bunting

The other day Donna came over to watch the birds in the bath. They really start to have a good time at about 2:00 and that will carry on until at least 5:00.  She came over and we watched for about an hour and just as she was about to leave I looked up and spotted this new comer in the pool.  Again he looked like God had just been using up all of the leftover paint.  I could hardly believe my eyes.  Turns out he is a Painted Bunting, quite common in the southern US but rare here.  Obviously he was having a great time, and I felt privileged to have seen him.. 
He looks like a cartoon character in this picture.
