Well, we are fairly certain it's a female Indigo Bunting! This is our first time seeing a female and definitely our first picture of it. Nice one B!!
She also got some great shots of a pair of Downey Woodpeckers working their way up the blackberry lattice in the back garden (we usually don't see these guys out back very often) and in and around the vegetable gardens.
We had an all time high August Baltimore Oriole count of 5! They were at the orange and grape jelly feeders. Usually one orange (cut in half) will last us a few days, but they have been going through an entire orange every day for the last few days. Last year we only saw these Orioles for a short time and they were gone, so it's exciting to know that they must have nested nearby and are still around.

Once again, I have enjoyed seeing the pictures of the various birds in your yard. How fortunate you are to be located so close to nature and its creatures.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work of spotting the birds and taking the great pictures for us to share.
