Took my wife and daughter with me for a ride.... These were all at ISO 800 as it was pretty overcast.

Looks like an indigo bunting. I particularly like #2 - is that uncropped?

Yes it is... I was sitting in the car when a pair flew right close to the car. I was able to get off a few shots. I then got out and mounted on a tripod with a 2x and shot the third shot.. Thanks for the ID... boy was that fast!

Love the silhouetted first shot. Great wing span.
What a lovely little blue bunting. Love both shots, especially when the Indigo bunting is having a bath.

about #2 -- does the detail hold up in a crop? It looks pretty sharp in full frame.

I like the blue guy.
Was the silhouette done on purpose or did you just not meter correctly for a good detailed shot? (Be honest) I have a lot of silhouettes of birds done accidentally due to the long distance and bad lighting usually.

An Indigo Bunting...is there any other bird I would rather see? NO9...Ok maybe the Painted Bunting but they don't get this far north. I like the second shot and the crop holds up quite nicely. Nice!
