Orange-breasted Bunting (Passerina leclancherii)

Oh my... he's beautiful Sue, and that such a sweet pose to capture too.

Where did you see them lass?

It's great to see you posting again - are you sailing at the moment?

Hi Delia,
Sorry--I could have sworn I typed in the location. I will see if I can edit the photos. They were taken in Barra de Navidad, Mexico. Gene and I are aboard Peregrine, but tied to a dock at the Grand Isla Navidad. It has been nearly a year and a half since I have been aboard and it is great to be home.

This is one stunning bird and picture Sue. What a treat to see this little gem. TFS!!!!
