Indigo and Painted buntings were photographed under various lighting conditions. Comparing flash, overcast, shade, direct sunlight, etc.
A Better Beamer flash extender was used.
All photos here were taken from a Ameristep Outhouse blind set up here https://pbase.com/m3ling/image/51147503
Seeds are thrown on the other side of the outlet of the pond. The buntings were there most of the day and eventually became fairly easy to approach.
