Indigo Buntings
View allAll Photos Tagged indigo
I finally was able to get a photo of a indigo bunting after being told we have them around, I guess I might have not had the right timing to start with.
Another great view of a male Indigo Bunting. Such magnificent colour, I can't stop photographing them.
Indigo Buntings are actually black; the diffraction of light through their feathers makes them look blue. ...
They are more common now than when the pilgrims first landed. ...
They migrate at night, using the pattern of stars nearest the North Star to guide them.

A beautiful Indigo Bunting on top of a sunflower- the seeds have not developed yet so it did not hang around that morning!
A little luck today.. i found a jewel in the grass! This is the first time i have seen any kind of Bunting in the yard, actually in my life :) It seems to prefer eating on the ground... but i am going to work on getting a shot in a tree. The NASCAR race was starting so i had to go in. I know... priorities :)

Indigo Bunting bringing a little spice to our life. You can tell by the beak that they are in the Cardinal family. They are big eaters of seeds and difficult to miss.
This photo was taken with a 600 prime and a 2x resulting in the very soft background.
I've seen and heard this colorful guy several times this year and finally got lucky enough to have him pose at a good angle at relatively close range.

Walking along this trail I heard a familiar call. Persistent and assertive after a few calls to it, this Indigo Bunting (m) popped out to check me out.

There were so many Indigos in this small portion of Amelia Wildlife Management Area. It was actually pretty crazy how many I saw.

This is the male Indigo Bunting sings with a cheerful gusto. Sometimes nicknamed Blue Canaries. This beautiful little bird is new to my backyard, I only saw him twice, hopefully he will return. I would love to get a better picture of this beautiful little bird.
I had two of these beauties in the yard for several days last month. Then they disappeared. I wonder if this is a different one or if he's one of my previous visitors. I just love the color of his blue.
Have a wonderful Saturday and happy snapping.
Absolutely love trying to photograph Indigo Buntings, they are loud (always, always singing) and when two different males encroach on each other's territory sparks fly. This one was calling from a surprisingly low branch in the distance. I love the blue on green colour in this image.
Two days in a row, I was privileged to see an Indigo Bunting. The second has less colour, maybe a bit less mature.
This morning, I wanted an indigo sunrise, something right off the Kelvin scale.
Nay, I needed an indigo sunrise.
Thank goodness for post-processing.
'Cause there is just no telling what a morning will bring.
The wind, the clouds, the rising sun . . . time to pick up my camera again.
Blessings,

(Once again, I must advise that a balcony on a cruise ship is a very necessary extra expense for a photographer. This was also shot by just stepping through my balcony door.)
Two adorable, juvenile indigo buntings came to visit the yard a few days before the bird count began. They have departed now but I was able to count them each day of the count and for a few days following.
It's always nice to be able to spend time in the yard during the migratory season. You never know who will stop by.
