We invite you to submit your caption for this photograph of a Painted Bunting on ice. This was photographed in Verona, Virginia, following a January ice storm. This bird should have been in southern Florida or a Caribbean island. In fact, it is unusual to even have them this far north in the summer.
The photograph will be used on the back of the January issue, along with our choice of a caption or captions.
We appreciate your following these rules for submissions:
Please submit a postcard, not in an envelope, addressed to:
Caption This Bunting, 4253 Woodcock Lane, Dayton, VA 22821, or e-mail to captionthis@naturefriendmagazine.com. Mention “Bunting” in the subject line. Include your name and address.
