<div dir="auto">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. <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Cheers, </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Kim in Otsego </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 20, 2020, 11:00 AM <<a href="mailto:mnbird-request@lists.mnbird.net">mnbird-request@lists.mnbird.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send Mnbird mailing list submissions to<br>

The last 3-4 days we had 2 families of RB Grosbeaks consisting of 2 males and 7 or 8 females, all mature. They loaded up on safflower and peanuts. Today there are none.<br>
Also today a Golden winged Warbler was preening after bathing in artificial stream. Did not spot a female.<br>

FOY indigo bunting appeared on Saturday, May 15. Heard calling today for<br>
the first time.<br>
<br>
And, (Not a Bird!), yesterday a white-tail doe that has been visiting all<br>
winter with a coat that looked really ratty (I suspected mange), appeared<br>
with a day-old fawn after a couple weeks' absence! This is the earliest I<br>
have ever observed a doe with a fawn. The deer are now molting into the<br>
beautiful tawny summer coat. Nature keeps serving up surprises.<br>
