Hello everyone:

I just got this note from someone at SMU.  The pictures, as she =20
mentioned, were not very good but there was one that shows the bird =20
from the back with its head turned and the blue with black on the =20
outer wings and the colour of the bill, etc. leave no doubt, at least =20=

in my mind, that it is an indigo bunting. The best picture is at
