Sunrise Rosita

We've all been there.  You see a gorgeous sunrise and try to take a pic ... and you just can't do it justice.  It's super hard for camera sensors to deal with rich cold and rich warm colors at the same time.

Rosita's Bunting is the same way.  It was one of the more striking birds I've ever seen in my life.  There aren't many birds that blend a rich blue somewhere between indigo and sky blue into magenta.  It was easy to see why they're cage bird targets and one of the birds that eBird won't give specific location data for.







The female was maybe not quite as showy as the male...
