The Painted Buntings are numerous at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. They are difficult for me to photograph because they like staying in the thick brush.
How I Got The Shot: Painted Bunting
This Painted Bunting was sitting in the middle of the road near the Dockery Slough. It flew up in a tree nearby, and I was able to open my pickup door to get this shot. I was hand-holding my camera and lens.
