How sweet. :)<br /><br />Seems our indigos are not as numerous at the swamp these days or maybe they caught on to my secret place in the bird blind. I was also lucky enough to spy a painted bunting, but it was a young male, so all his colorful plumage has not come in yet. <br /><br />What a great environment you were able to work in. So sad that "progress" chips away at the habitat for wildlife. I do hope that you will see more and more bird visitors. Put out the welcome mat (feeders and plants) and they will come. :)Gail Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697820311332653232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-67005222306740146382014-05-05T09:08:01.870-05:002014-05-05T09:08:01.870-05:00What beautiful birds!

I've never seen anything like them, in our neck of the woods, but I'd sure love to!<br /><br />Unlike you, I sometimes tend to find myself wishing for 'the good ole' days'.

Only one time we saw an indigo. I read something fascinating abut them. Their feathers are not really blue, it is the way the light changes when it hits their feathers. No matter what causes it, they are just SO beautiful!!Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
