Nice.

Always like Sandhill Cranes.

I have only seen Indigo Buntings at my feeder a few times, always in May. They are always fleeting encounters. So I am happy to have got reasonable light on this one a few days ago:


The behavior would indicate that they are migrating, but looking at some migration maps, it seems a small population lives in New England throughout the summer. Most seem to summer in the Arkansas-TN-KS area, or so it seems.

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.

All taken at or in the trees behind my feeder. Nice to see the Northern Flicker back this year. I am seeing them about every other day, so I hope to get a few other pictures.

Thanks
