An Indigo Bunting singing away on a rainy day at McKee-Beshers WMA in Poolesville, MD.
Category 7: Bold, Bright, and Beautiful
AWARD WINNER: 3rd Place Overall and Category 7: People\'s Choice
Beautiful! Such awesome colors!
Thank you, Olivia! It’s an amazing place!
Only met an indigo hunting once in my life, thought I’d discovered a new bird.
The first one I ever saw was at my feeder, and that’s what got me into birding!
This is just beautiful
Thank you, Debbie!
Excellent Composition with a beautiful Indigo Bunting.
Thank you so much, Jane!
Congrats big time Laura! I entered a Rose-breasted Grosbeak and saw some other one entered not even as nice had 24 comments & was hoping someone else who truly deserved it would win “people’s choice” and a great choice indeed! So beautiful with the blue & yellow. Way to go! <3
Awww, thank you so much, Joan! That is very nice of you to say 🙂
Congrats. Laura. Great Catch! Beautiful photo.
Thank you, Aleene!
