I heard the Bunting chipping outside so I grabbed the camera and tried to find the bird through the kitchen window. I could hear it to the right but did not see it yet. Suddenly, a Bunting landed on the feeder and started grabbing seed. As before, I had to shoot through the screened in window so the shots are not ideal but are good for ID purposes.
I continued to shoot shots of this bird for documentation and it was very quickly going back and forth to nab seeds.
Still, I was definitely hearing a bird chip that could not be this bird. I began to peer closer around the vegetation and was finally rewarded by finding a second Bunting nearby behind the palm fronds.
So! Now we have two Indigos this year. Sweet!
Actually, the bird chipping was the one in the palms. The other was too busy feeding as the other kept watch.
I want to spend more time with the screen open but our current cat might jump out or the Carolina Wrens might fly in (they have done so through the mail slot before!) so I was not comfortable keeping it open too long. So I am left with screened views for now.
Knowing that there are two makes me hope for so outdoor shots in the future. Two Indigos! Yay!
