I just love indigo buntings. We used to see them at the edge of our woods in New Hampshire in summertime. There is nothing like their azure shimmer through the trees. We had bluebirds too--a completely different blue, but just as beautiful.<br /><br />How's the job going? You must come by for a visit if you ever have the energy!Kim Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13755145581029549089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-65479167031859471342009-05-06T19:18:00.000-05:002009-05-06T19:18:00.000-05:00I would so love to see an Indigo Bunting in person!<br />BrendaBrendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-25407402879348560102009-05-06T15:10:00.000-05:002009-05-06T15:10:00.000-05:00Very pretty! i'm an avid birdwatcher myself but we don't have anything so colourful over here!Ruth@VShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10916105949679010328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-43876257396441255132009-05-06T11:39:00.000-05:002009-05-06T11:39:00.000-05:00Oh how fun for a bird loving visitor. The indigo bunting is one I have only seen once, and not in my garden. Your shots are great. Have fun with your friend, take some photos! :-)<br /><br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-67969257487600774422009-05-05T17:59:00.000-05:002009-05-05T17:59:00.000-05:00Jean, The indigo bunting is beautiful! I wonder if they travel through Tennessee! It's been years since a Rose Breasted grosbeak visited my garden! gailGailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-50039730083047070282009-05-05T14:07:00.000-05:002009-05-05T14:07:00.000-05:00I wish I could lure the Rose-breasted Grosbeak to my garden. They are beautiful. I know what you mean about not having time to take photos and keep the garden up as well. I'm having the same dilemma.Philliphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01546160918395373740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-61067338619569401392009-05-05T12:46:00.000-05:002009-05-05T12:46:00.000-05:00Jean, I hope the Grosbeaks linger for you a while. I think I had a female at my feeder recently; she was very similar to the one in your picture. That Indigo Bunting is such an amazing shade of blue ... I wish one would stop by my garden!Cindy, My Corner of Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-27952845732703031102009-05-05T12:23:00.000-05:002009-05-05T12:23:00.000-05:00Jean,<br /><br />Very nice post about the birds! The male grosbeak must know it's getting near time to nest.... hence his patience while his mate ate her fill.<br /><br />Chloe M.chloe.m2008@gmail.comhttp://gardengrit.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-90433760414233149642009-05-05T07:27:00.000-05:002009-05-05T07:27:00.000-05:00Good to see a new post on your blog. I haven't seen an Indigo Bunting for about 20 years. It was during an unexpected heavy snowfall in May. The Indigo Buntings were at the feeder all day and it was a beautiful sight. Have a wonderful visit with your friend from Austin.donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.com
