It would be great if they stuck around longer.

I still have never seen one in person. Always see people posting about them in the area, but never where I happen to be. :-). Great catch!

I haven't seen the Indigo Bunting in awhile, but here is another image I liked:

Working through a backlog of photos. They were just sitting on my memory card. These are actually late October, but I am working most recent to older.
