My favorite shade of blue. Too bad, for me, that they are not found in the high desert mountains of New Mexico.

Interesting Tidbit: The Indigo Bunting is an attractive, small seed eating bird,
around 4.5-5 inches in length, with a wingspan of 8-9 inches. In summer the
plumage of the adult male is deep blue which can look black in poor light. They
have black wings and tail with blue coloring around the edges. ~Tellurian Studies~

I call that a Perfect Picture! That is a wonderful sharp detailed shot that really appeals to me. I wish I had Indigos in my area...but I do have Western Tanagers I'm working on here in Oregon. Trade a few ?

Super nice tack sharpness on the Indigo especially taken through the branches. I've never seen one but would assume that they are fast and don't hang around on a branch very long, increasing the difficulty of the shot of a capture like that. Thanks for sharing.
