Painted Bunting

Painted Buntings are, arguably, North Americas most colorful bird. They look like something from the tropics, but they are common in the southern parts of the US, and always present in small numbers in Florida. Yesterday there were two males and two females attending the feeders at the Visitor Center at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Titusville Florida. The feeders are off the end of the deck around the building, in a deep grove of bushy plants, and there is never much light in there. This shot was at ISO 2500, so pushing the limits of what can be done with a 1 inch sensor camera…still I am happy with the detail and overall image quality as processed in Polarr. Sony RX10iv at 600mm equivalent. 1/250 @ f4 @ ISO 2500.
