Lazuli Buntings, males in particular, are conspicuous and well known in many western states. And they’re among the most beautiful birds I photograph.<\/p>\n

A short post today.<\/em><\/p>\n

1\/3200, f\/6.3, ISO 500, Canon 7D Mark II, Canon EF 500mm f\/4L IS II USM + EF 1.4 III Extender, not baited, set up or called in<\/em><\/p>\n

I found this male perched atop a juniper tree in Tooele County two days ago. Male Lazuli Buntings are known as persistent and conspicuous singers throughout the breeding season but I never did catch this guy breaking out into song. His brilliant colors had to do his singing for him.<\/p>\n

It may not be a great photo in part because his tail is mostly hidden and some of the juniper leaves are a little out of focus.<\/p>\n

But I think he’s a great bird.<\/p>\n
