Colorful friend

Was at the Benedictine Monastery today with our homeschool group. At some point we're usually given some time for silent prayer, so today I went to the Eucharistic Chapel for a bit to say morning prayer. It was much too nice a day to stay inside, so I decided to wander around outside. I didn't have to go too far until I ran into this guy:

He came right up to me and started posing.

Funny little bird! He sure made prayer time fun.
