Our Indigo Bunting Returns. Again!
I was doing dishes when I noticed a speedy streak zip through the branches outside the kitchen window. The next time I looked up, a male Indigo Bunting was at the feeder! I ran to the camera and hoped it would stay for a minute or two.
Though not a clear shot, since it was taken from inside and through the window screen, it is easy to see our Bunting has returned. This is at least the third year in a row. I will have to keep my eyes open.
What a nice visitor! We usually see them in the spring when we ware visiting my Sister in NC. Will be in Florida in a few weeks..hope to see some there. :)
They are here is small numbers. We catch most of them at my banding site in late Oct-Nov. Still hear a few through Winter but they stay hidden most of the time.
