Gorgeous bunting shares his beauty
-
The French speaking Acadians of southern Louisiana nicknamed the painted bunting “nonpareil” meaning unparalleled, without equal. This rainbow colored songbird is breathtakingly beautiful. This male visited my birdbath numerous times this past summer and sang its heart out from the nearby wooded area. Its mate is varied shades of green, lovely in her own right, but no where as colorful as this stunning male.

I am happy to present the lovely couple, Mr. and Mrs. Painted Bunting, guests of mine this past summer. I hope they return with the warm weather in 2008.

A Painted Bunting coaxed into my friends front yard with birdseed, allowed us to pull up some chairs, have a few beers, and get these nice closeups….LOL

The male painted bunting is a spectacularly colored little bird; I coupled this image with an Irish blessing I really love.

I photographed this rare painted bunting from my mother in law’s deck. In this photo he just seems to be looking at me asking “what you lookin’ at???”

I knew when I took this shot that I had moved the camera and the shot would probably be no good. However, when I uploaded it to my computer, I liked it because it looked like a painting rather than a photograph. So I decided to keep it. I am posting it here for the Impressionist Photography Group, but I invite everyone to enjoy it. Len /

Male Painted Bunting / Greeting Card
-
A male Painted Bunting, no larger than a small fist, sits upon a branch looking for a feeder made just for him.

The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears. (A painted bunting image revisited and made into a greeting card).

Ever since the painted bunting returned to southern Louisiana for the 2009 summer breeding season, I’ve been on the lookout for him. He sings heartily from the nearby forested property but seldom does he show himself. I saw him fleetingly a few times, but his extreme shyness keeps him well out of reach. Today, I sat in my blind and prayed he’d come. The singing started, with the glorious sound getting closer and closer until he landed as close as I’ve seen him this year. Snap. Snap. Snap. And then he was gone! This was as good as I could get; hopefully, there will be more opportunities before Mr. Elusive heads to Mexico for the winter months! Isn’t he just dandy! Reminds me of a box of crayons! I’m grateful to God for answering my prayer for a better view of this gorgeous little bird.

Just having a little fun with photos I took of the male and female painted bunting. This consists of three layers, one of the male painted bunting, one of the female, and one of a flower in my garden. I copied and pasted the layers on top of each other, adjusted the opacity slider, added the dry brush filter to each layer, and then topped the whole thing with a slew of butterflies, using the brush tool.

The painted bunting, known among the Cajun people as nonpareil because of his unparalleled beauty, comes to southern Louisiana sometime in late April or early May and remains in the area throughout the breeding season. There is a forested area next door to my home which is a perfect habitat for these glorious little birds. I hear the male singing long before I ever see him, and is his song memorable! He can really belt out a tune. He is extremely shy, however, and seldom makes himself visible, but once in a while I do see him near the birdbath where he loves to splash. Last year, he came to my patio birdbath, but this year the male is staying further away from the house and visiting a bath further out in the yard so I don’t see him as frequently. These birds are endangered south of the border because the bird is not protected by law there and people have trapped them to use as cage birds and have threatened their numbers as a result. The population along the eastern U.S. coast is diminished because of possible intrusion by the cow bird, but the birds in Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas seem to be doing fine. I hope they will be with us forever as they are truly NONPAREIL!

I first noticed the Painted Bunting several years ago but I’ve never been able to get close enough for a picture. Yesterday I looked out my window and there he was. This is a male. The females are solid green.

A good friend on Red Bubble, John Absher, told me about the Bird Jam, Ipod, that has hundreds of bird songs and pictures on it, a perfect way to learn how to recognize native songbirds and to even attract them! I followed his advice and invested in this little gadget and have been amazed at how responsive birds can be to the calls. Sometimes they come and sometimes they don’t, but it’s always a challenge to see what will happen. One day in April, I decided to put the Ipod on my patio wall and play the painted bunting song. Within a few moments, I got the surprise of my life. A female painted bunting landed right on the Ipod and stayed there a good while, looking left, right, up, down, wondering where in the world her mate was. It was though she was saying, “I can hear you, but where are you, Honey?” Since that memorable day, the tune doesn’t seem to attract them any longer. They aren’t “bird brains” as some think; these little creatures learn fast. I may have fooled them once, but I doubt I’ll fool them twice. I thought some of you might get a kick out of this image. By the way, the painted buntings are still in my yard and vicinity. I hear the male singing lustily all the time, but he’s much too clever to show himself. He knows there’s an imposter in his territory, and he won’t even so much as respond to the fake bird’s cry! Neither does his mate! (I added the male’s picture on the Ipod screen for extra effect. I also apologize for the lack of quality in this shot; Mrs. Bunting caught me unaware and I had to shoot at an odd angle in order to get this picture; not the best but fun anyway).
