[Mnbird] Mnbird Digest, Vol 66, Issue 19

[Kim Wilcox]

Ah, the indigo bunting - what gorgeous birds.  Most years we see one or two
males at a feeder, passing through (there may be females, but I'm not sure
I'd spot them). None yet, but I'm always on the lookout this time of year.
I always feel like I've hit the jackpot when I see one.

Cheers,

Kim in Otsego
