The blues

I got me those blue jay squawking,
High circling hawking,
Too much talking
Indigo bunting bluuuuesss!

More color these days at the feeder, including blue jays (booo!) and very yellow finches, but my favorite is the male indigo bunting who showed up yesterday. He is almost iridescent.

Awesome little birds. Apparently they're more common that we think, they jst dont come to feeders too often.
I'm sure you already know that they're actually black, but the light refracts through their feathers to make them blue. ..

Does that make it a black-and-blue bunting?
