Augie,

Very nice. I have not seen many good shots of Indigo Buntings, and your first one is one of the best I've seen.

One of my favorite "surprises" when I am out and about birding. A pair nested along the driveway to one of our club's observing sites long ago, and I always enjoyed seeing mister bunting sitting on top of an old phone pole singing.

We usually enjoy a few visits to our feeders in the spring, but must have missed him this year - or he found better dining elsewhere.

Clear skies, Alan
