They're back - on time and almost to the day!
Meet Passerina cyanea - the Indigo Bunting. These birds summer here and like the Blue Jay sunlight is refracted in their plumage like that of a Blue Jay making them appear blue. For the uninitiated this birds doesn't have any blue pigment in its feathers.
This song bird migrates completely to Central and South America, Mexico and southern Florida. It is refreshing to see this blackbird back in the neighborhood.
