It had a much less distinctive black eye mask. Let me know if I've misnamed another species...  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

I think they are one of the prettiest birds. I wish they would come a little further to the north. Canon 7D, 450D, various lenses, a bottle of Muskol

Now, I've got close to six or seven of them at any given time at my feeders during the day. You can't believe how deep this shade of blue is compared to the rest of the bird world around here. Every time one lands near my window I'm grabbing for the camera... "Slower minds keep right..."

I think Indigo Buntings are more open area birds. I have several (up to 19 maybe) arround my house. I live in the woods but I see most of them just down the road(1/4 mile) in the pastures and in the tall grass beside the road. Nice captures once again. ~David Thanks, David. I'm intrigued by this species at the moment, I suppose because it's a new one to me. They arrived only a few days after my first rose-breasted grosbeaks hit the feeders and I was just stunned by the deep blue coloration. Can't stop taking pictures of them... someone help! Call me away or something! "Slower minds keep right..."
