Love this bird, something we do not see over here. I would have liked it to be a little closer in PP.

Hi Sharon :-) Considering the limitations of your camera you have done very well here and introduced me to yet another one of your fabulous birds..Here's a little more info which may interest other members..tfp :-)
The Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea), is a small seed-eating bird in the family Cardinalidae. It is migratory, ranging from southern Canada to northern Florida during the breeding season, and from southern Florida to northern South America during the winter.It often migrates by night, using the stars to navigate.Its habitat is farmland, brush areas, and open woodland.The Indigo Bunting is closely related to the Lazuli Bunting, and interbreeds with the latter species where their ranges overlap.

Some information for you here Robbie7 concerning the Lazuli colour the Bunting is named after:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis_lazuli
We used to manufacture colours with the synthetic Ultra marine blue.
Also your favorite painting The Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665) by Johannes Vermeer is painted with the exorbitantly expensive pigment lapis lazuli, or natural ultramarine.
