Indigo Bunting (for Celebration)

We have 3! I didn't know until today but we have 3 Indigo Buntings.

I got a better shot - still not the shot I want yet.

Also, the American Goldfinches are hanging around this year. Last year they didn't. So I got a shot of them in their bright yellow coloring.

I think I must be on some migration route because i get (to me) unrecognizable birds at my feeder and only for a few days. This time of year I am especially aware and make sure my bird feeders are always full!

You could be on their route. I'm getting several kinds of hummingbirds a day on their way west. They stop and eat and off they go.

I got some more of the bunting today. I'm trying to get that one special shot. I discovered that Indigo Buntings are mean. They attack the other birds at the feeders.

Many years ago I was visiting my inlaws in Schenectady NY; we went for a walk in the woods and saw the most amazing bird I had ever seen in the US. It was literally rainbow colored. My mil was a birder so she called Audubon; they said it probably was an indigo bunting in molting season! You think? Never saw one like it since, but got to go to Costa Rica and saw the quetzal and to Africa last year; color on the birds is almost unreal. Wish I had been a real photographer like you.
