Ours are already nesting, chico, so chances are, yours is there to stay and has a ladylove tucked away somewhere. The fems are much drabber but still very pretty--a pale brown with barely noticeable hints of blue in the tails and wings.

Beautiful.

Lucky you, Chico. Chippies and now Buntings.

I've never seen an Indigo Bunting either.

First a Cardinal, now an an indigo bunting, wow! Sensational birds! Lucky you, Chico. Are there any other bright ones like those I haven't heard about? Anything that is bright yellow for instance, my favorite colour.

So sweet chico!!! I occasionally see a blue streak flashing by but not often. They are very beautiful.
