Painted Bunting in Flight

Last summer I had the opportunity to take several pictures of painted buntings. That was my first experience with this species so I hope I could do better in my next encounter. However, this was one of the better pictures from that trip despite the unfavorable condition (e.g. fast moving small bird in shady area that required lower shutter speed and higher ISO)
