Painted Bunting

Painted Bunting, taken at Awendaw SC.
Equipment used
Canon SX740, 960mm
Very low quality, taken by pocket camera through double-glass window, bird sitting on porch railing, yard and pond in background. I put this bird facing each way into one image, since the quality was so low there was no point to maintaining them separately.

Wow! 2 males in one shot! Lucky you and nicely captured Dale!
 
Wow and to get them this time of year is really rare. I don't see anything wrong with the picture it looks really good. So is this the same bird? That's how I understand you put it. Great stuff.
 
It's hard to say whether one or two birds, because of the very long 960mm zoom and all of the intervening obstructions. Like shooting through a narrow tunnel. But I got off two bursts of about 20 images total, picked these two, then merged them.
