We have several pair of Indigos that eat in the front yard feeders. The same diet is available in the back yard but they rarely go there. Here is a male and a female..thanks for looking...Rose

Wow Rose, what beauties. I have seen a male here, but never did see a female. These are great. Now I know what to look for. :)

Such beautiful shots Rose... your details are perfect. I had the privilege to watch an Indigo male & female raise a family last summer... they all made it out of the nest.

Superb Ms. Rose! I have only seen an indigo 3 or 4 times and that was just this spring. You certainly did this little beauty justice.

Thanks dbriz...I think they are nesting up in our upper field as I see them in a certain are when I take a walk...I think the juvies are starting to appear as there are several now that look like a pale version of the female.

Rose - that first one is over the top gorgeous - not only the bird but your ability to shoot it perfectly. Great work!
