Friend Rex Hewitt and I spent about 20 minutes cleaning up the edge of the water feature at the Cozad Ranch, but with the birds being active there was soon seed and other debris on the set. I loved this simple HORZ portrait of a stunning male Painted Bunting so much that I spent another 20 minutes cleaning iy up on Photoshop. (See the ORIG next pane.)
If you live within an hour or two of the Cozad Ranch it would behoove you to get there this week. We have four male painteds on the set at once plus several females, a gadzillion Cardinals, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Curve-billed Thrasher, Bronzed Cowbird, Black-throated Sparrow and lots more. See the blog at www.birdsasart-blog.com for more images and contact info.
Don't be shy. All comments welcome. I am here to learn too.
ps: Headed for Sabine Woods, TX in five....
