Indigo Bunting on Sunflower

I found this sunflower field and thought it would be a good subject for a photograph. While taking some photos I could hear an Indigo Bunting singing from the tree tops. The Idea was born, now just to pull off a satisfactory photo. I made two more trips, one in the evening (only to find that these sunflowers don't turn) and one in the morning. The morning that this photo was taken was sunny with a bit of dew as I pulled up to the flower field. I pulled over as far off the road toward the sunflowers as I could and played the Indigo Bunting song from an Ipod. Within a few minutes it came and perched in front of me. I knew I had exceeded my expectations while still looking through the viewfinder.

I hope you enjoy the photo as much as I have.
