"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song" is a wonderful quote from Maya Angelou which suits this image perfectly. The all blue male Indigo Bunting with the head being indigo and the body being cerulean blue with black and brown, sings with cheerful gusto and looks like a scrap of sky with wings.

Sometimes you see an Eastern Bluebird, and you go, "That is the bluest bird that ever there will be." And then the Indigo Bunting turns up to point and laugh at you.

Indigo Bunting. I can now stop photographing birds because I'll never do better than this.

It was after 8pm and I was in the kitchen making myself a cup of tea when I looked out the window and saw an at the feeder. My Olympus camera was able to capture the image even though it was almost dark, though it's not the best.

Let's play guess that bird.

I'm pretty sure this is a female indigo bunting. only because I have other pictures to compare it with where the plumage doesn't look like a fur coat. Or perhaps it's a juvenile ... I wouldn't know because I have no idea what a juvenile looks like. Merlin is no help; I've tried it several times a got a different result each time - mostly owls. I'm open to suggestions, there is no ego in my bird game.

Forward men!

This indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea) looks like he's on a mission. This would be a good patriotic poster for birds. Either that or he's simply stretching is neck to see better.

Look me in the eye.

This is an indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea). In photographed one of these years ago, before I started watching birds. But this picture is much better. I saw some other birds I haven't seen before which Il'' post at another time. I also saw a yellow barn swallow swoop by in front of me but sorry not photo.

"The all-blue male Indigo Bunting sings with cheerful gusto and looks like a scrap of sky with wings. Sometimes nicknamed "blue canaries," these brilliantly colored yet common and widespread birds whistle their bouncy songs through the late spring and summer all over eastern North America. Look for Indigo Buntings in weedy fields and shrubby areas near trees, singing from dawn to dusk atop the tallest perch in sight or foraging for seeds and insects in low vegetation." - allaboutbirds.org

Every spring we see one or two of these beautiful birds at our feeder on its way to a summer nesting location;

I'm in a blue mood on this overcast February morning so here's an indigo bunting that I did in soft pastels last year. This bird in the midst of flight was challenging to draw, but I think it worked out well.

See this artwork in my online gallery at mm-anderson.pixels.com/feature or one of the other sites in my profile.

I just found this photo of an Indigo Bunting I shot way back in May 2018.

It's a new-to-me photo. I am TERRIBLE about taking photos, dumping the files and forgetting to go back and look at them.
