This beautiful bird is a rare treat to see!It's an indigo bunting and I am
SO EXCITED to see him today!
And to actually get a few pictures too!
They are actually NOT BLUE... their feathers are black and the sunlight refracted within the structure of the feathers makes them only appear blue. In direct sunlight it also appears iridescent. Isn't that amazing?
