What was extremely funny was just yesterday (we purchased the book on Sunday) that little bird was in our yard!! HAHA! Anyways, it is a painted bunting. I don't know how many of you know what those are, but here is a professional picture:
And here is a picture of the one in our yard
A blue jay
And a cardinal
For those of you who do not know, all of these birds happen to be male...male birds are always the colorful ones whereas the females are a gray/brown variety with accents of the more bold male colors. I don't know why God made them this way, but this is one species where the men are actually prettier :)

I seriously cannot believe you saw that bird. I have never, in my life, seen one of those. That is so awesome.
When you are old you are both going to be co-chairs of the bird watchers club aren't you. Wearing your funky hats, carrying around your 'noculars, and tiptoeing and whispering around your backyard.....
Lexi- I'm so happy you're a bird watcher too! You are not going to
believe this but I had a Painted Bunting for the first time in my yard on Wednesday morning. I've never seen one before and I've been a birder for years! You are lucky. It was amazing. I took 3 pics and a short video of this jewel! Happy birdwatching! Love,

Wow, that's a really pretty bird. I would love to see one. I think it's cute that y'all are a couple of bird watchers.
That is so cool! I don't think you are dork at all, I don't know a thing about birds, but I have really wanted to get a feeder in our yard and this makes me want to even more.
I am a "people watcher" myself...I guess that is because the only birds we see in the big city are pigeons...yuck! We don't get to see those pretty birds like you...lucky!
