Thank you Mike. Possible. But I'm thinking maybe an Indigo Bunting, even if it's a bit out of their range. What do you think?

Nice shot. Where are you and where was this taken ?? Obviously not from your usual Florida haunts.


Thanks Hereford. Nope, I have left Florida far behind. This is from Teddy Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota.

My apologies to all. After a couple mis-identifications I'm convinced it's a Lazuli Bunting. The wings match and the region matches. Thank you Marg and Rhinophoto.

A few birds that are blue (all males); 2 images of Lazuli buntings (note white bars on wings); Mountain bluebird; and Western bluebird. All taken in the Sierra Nevada.

Thanks Don. I can't think of a worse place to be quarantined. YIKES!!
No, just been on the road for awhile. From Florida to Massachusettes to Maine, back to North Carolina and then, after several days of travelling, back to God's Country!! Wahoo!!. It's GOOD to be back!

Looking at that thick beak, I wonder if it is a type of grosbeak.
