It’s nice to see this special blue of the males, but I also love the beautiful rich brown color of the females. Unfortunately, while the buntings were here this Spring, I never saw a female; I missed seeing them, but it was nice of the males to pose for me.

Hi Bob:
Nice shot. IBs use to come to my feeder but not any more. I might have to try the cracked corn as this male seems to be munching on it given all the choices in your great smorgasbord of bird delicacies.
