Went out to Lake Draper in OKC in search of painted buntings. They are thick out there but hard to photograph. This is one from today.

    Great catch. Where is Lake Draper in relation to the airport? I sometimes go to OKC for work, and we stay on S Meridian

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Superb detail and color even the catchlight in the eye. Lucky you... we don't have colorful birds like this in SW Pa.

    He sure is beautiful. Nice one. In my neck of the woods there
    has been only one reportably seen. Of course I had to go
    find it. I'll post in another thread.
