Very nice pictures.
Thank you Tom! I’m trying to get to your level! 🙂
Great photos, H.J.! Is that an indigo bunting? We saw a couple at our feeders this spring, but I did not get a close look at them.
Thanks Karen! No, that’s a male Brown-headed Cowbird with wet feathers reflecting the sky. 🙂
Oh, yes – the brown head should have been my clue. Do you have bluebirds this year? We put up a bluebird house early this spring, but no luck. Have not seen them for years.
I haven’t seen any bluebirds so far this year!
Great captures, HJ! The cowbird almost looks like a Brown-Headed Blue Cowbird. 🙂
The feathers when wet create a mirror effect and reflect light, in this case, the sky. Thanks Lisa! 🙂
