This beauty was in the Secret Garden at Parrot Mountain, Pigeon Forge, TN. I am not totally sure what kind of bird this is...I think it is some kind of bunting...anyone who knows for sure is welcome to correct me!
I have looked through my bird identification book, and online, and that is as close as I can come!
Linking to Anni's The Bird D'pot and Stewart's Wild Bird Wednesday.

I have no idea what this one is, but I gotta tell you....its brilliant colors are striking and beautiful. The contrast of the eye is incredible. I must do some searching to see just what species it is.
Thanks for linking up this week at the Bird D'Pot.
I am not sure if this is a native US bird. It is beautiful, gorgeous color. Great shot, Linda!
Gorgeous color! Hope someone knows what it is!
How beautiful and geesh, it matches that feeder perfectly...brilliant~
What a stunning little bird..

Sorry I can't help with the identification but it certainly is a beautiful bird! I love the intense blue!

Great picture of the little bird. I agree with you, it looks like some sort of bunting. Sometimes they are hard to identify. I know I have had a few that I can not find online or in my books either. But, they are beautiful just the same!
I can't ID this bird either, but it's really a beauty! Good catch.
Not a bird I've seen before, but very nice and colourful.
I don't know the name- but he is a handsome fella with those bright blues!
Wow! That is some blue bird. Lovely capture of something I have never seen before.
I think you may have an escapee on your hands there!
But its a nice bird.
Thanks for linking to WBW - Stewart M - Australia
PS: great header shot - I think I need to go back to Ireland - I used to live in County Cork.
Sure is pretty, whatever it is.
Beautiful looking bird.
wow! that is a startling blue! I love it.
