Very cool. I'm covered up with them right now, and two weeks ago had never seen one... go figure.

Hey VI this is only the second one I've seen but they change color based on light.

Great picture!. I agree that they change shades depending on the lighting angle. It's all about the feather structure.

Check out your (c) mark, Gray .

Thanks Dale

Yes Fat finger on that one. I had never seen one change from Aqua to a deep purple on different parts on it body

great fun Gary I've chased indigos for years each May and June I'm told thewhole bird color is actually black and refracts to the electric blue that I usually see. My boys are about a week away always on a cliff above a river in serviceberry trees singing away until the ladies arrive. Just no other blue like him.

Thanks Sam

They jump around quite a bit, and change color from Aqua to a Deep Purple

Very nice capture of a bird I've never seen. Icing on the cake!
