Been a while since I posted but I finally got close enough to a Lazuli Bunting to get decent shots.

Thanks for looking.

These sure are fine shots of this beautiful bird. Looks like a bird you would see down in South America, not up North! Excellent captures Mike!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

I've been trying for about 3 years to get decent shots of these little birds without luck. I found this one in some old-growth sagebrush close to a cement plant and persistence paid off.
