My favorite bird is the Eastern Blue Bird. Its striking appearance always amazes me. So blue, never seen that in Europe. A wow bird to me. Until….

Blue bird

I had the pleasure of seeing an Indigo bunting up close and personal one day hanging out with the bird banders.

Above Indigo Bunting was the first one I saw and was already in awe. But the people kept saying, You haven’t seen anything yet. Wait for it….

And they were right. An Indigo Bunting in full colored plumage is stunning. So incredibly pretty. Blue-est blue! Delicate and stylish. What a beautiful bird and what a beautiful day. For sure….

I saw this one for the first time ever. I was like a Northern Cardinal, but strikingly blue….. The Blue Grosbeak!

How about this bird? Absolutely wonderful! Blue-Blue in the utmost of Blue rankings. What an amazing bird. Couldn’t keep my eyes away from it. So beautiful. Or should I say “Bleautiful.” 🙂

What a Beautiful day! What a beautiful bird! Did I really just met up with a Blue Grosbeak? So lucky….
