Title: Indigo Bunting

Got a very nice surprise yesterday when this guy showed up at our feeder
It was a first for me. Shots are not great, I took them through my patio door

Nice photos, do the Indigo Buntings like Peanuts?

I think I would faint if I saw one of these at our feeders!  :shock:

We have had two firsts in the yard this spring though, a male RBG and a Catbird yesterday.

Thanks everyone.
I was shocked when I saw it, I had to scramble to get my camera
Fortunately he stayed long enough for me to get a few shots.

Not sure about peanuts Cody, but he seemed to go for the sunflower seed.
