Indigo Bunting

Indigo Bunting, originally uploaded by amkhosla.

Read the words of the original photographer about this cute bird :
" Woo-hoo! Life bird!

This is a most unusual bird in our area. It kept getting spotted in random places but I wasn't able to find it. Lately, though, it seems to have finally settled down to one territory where it can be reliably found. So Yamil Saenz and I went out and found it. Thank you sir! :-)

I am amazed how close its call is to the Lazuli Bunting.

I thought Lazuli's were amazing birds. The photo does not do this gentleman justice. Amazing blues. I suppose I'm ready for a Painted Bunting now. :-) "
