Summertime Blues
The indigo bunting is a summer bird for Louisiana. On May 24th, I was thrilled to see one in the wild, no bird feeders in sight. This little guy was quite perturbed by my presence, flicking his tail, flapping his wings and giving me the stare-down. No, I wasn't playing his call on my phone, but once I realized he might be upset, I walked away. I'm sure he thought he won, but I felt like the winner. :)

That third photo.....it's absolutely MARVELOUS!!!
...and yes, you are a winner indeed.
Thanks for linking up at the bird d'pot this week Gail
What a beauty! I'm amazed by that colour!
Wonderful series. Thank you!
Such gor-jus creatures.
Pretty fine photography too :O)
He's a beauty, even though he was a little unhappy with you. I saw one fly across the road in front of me last Saturday. He landed in a tree full of leaves. Not even a bad photo op there. ;(

Beautiful bird!! Gosh I love their color. Maybe you just caught him on a bad day :) may have had a fight with the misses lol.
All of the photos are great but that third one is absolutely stunning; a genius capture!
Gorgeous captures of a beautiful bird!
While I do believe that he was a bit disturbed by your camera.....I am thankful that he allowed you to capture these FABULOUS photos.... although each picture is so good, it's the action in #3 that caught my eye.. The blue coloring on this bird is so very pretty!!
Good job Gail!!
The bright blue is attractive.
What a beauty this bird.
The color is totally awesome.
The third picture is my favorite.
Greetings Irma
You got some good images before he won!

A blue beauty and a bit of a character too! Thanks for dropping by my blog.
I can't get over that fabulous blue! You definitely captured his annoyance, too.
With such a series of photos, I am convinced that you won.
The Indigo Bunting is superb, and you with camera work is fantastic, thanks Gail.
Przepiękny ,fantastyczne ubarwienie :}
Wow Gail. The 3rd one reminds me of a porcelain sculpture I saw once, or maybe an Audubon painting. Beautiful!

Gail, he is a stunner and would brighten up anyone's day. Fabulous images.
So delighted you enjoyed viewing the feathers on our Heron.
The color is amazing. Beautiful photography, Gail.
That bird is stunning. The blue reminds me a bit of the blue on out Kingfishers, but it looks nothing like a Kingfisher of course. From Findlay
The colour is my favorite ,so i like the bird too ,Nette
Wow, what an impressive birdie!
That indigo bunting could have been the heraldic bird of the company I work for. Our dominant color is a dark blue as well...
