Indigo Bunting

Indigo buntings are a species that have often evaded pretty much every lens I own, camera or otherwise. While not necessarily retiring, they can be a bit wary, or at least they were whenever I tried to focus on them. However, I found out that all that wariness flies the coop at this time of year, when males are feuding with each other. The flowing testosterone probably has something to do with it, I reckon. Either way, this guy was a big fan of this perch, which yielded the best looks and photos I’ve gotten of this species to date, despite being quite common and a regular breeder.
