--Boundary_(ID_DBANT5J1eN22HjOnb42YOA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I had this most interesting visitor today at Horton Bluff (Avonport), a male Indigo Bunting!. He was here at my feeder area, on and off most of the afternoon from about 2 p.m. , last here about 7:p.m. Very wary. It did not take much to put him to flight, where he would disappear for 10 or 15 min before putting in another brief appearance. The only photos I could manage were at a distance and through 2 panes of glass (kitchen window overlooking feeder area). This is the first of this species I've had at my feeder. Only other one I've observed was one at Mrs. Urban's feeder (Avonport) several years ago. The crowning sight, about 7 p.m., was my male Rose-breasted Grosbeak and the bunting, side by side, about 20 or 30 cm apart, together on the platform feeder. What a colourful sight that was. By the time I had the camera in hand the grosbeak had flown and the bunting left a few seconds later. Here is a link to a few photos I managed, (through window glass and the zoom pushed a bit much). http://gallery.me.com/sherm39/100183 Sherman --Boundary_(ID_DBANT5J1eN22HjOnb42YOA) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "> <div><br></div><div>I had this most interesting visitor today at Horton = Bluff (Avonport), a male Indigo Bunting!.
