Great photos. Love those woodpeckers. What I wouldn't give to actually see one in real life! I didn't do much bird watching today. And it is raining tonight. Supposed to get colder tonight and for most of this week. When I say colder, I mean lows in the 40's and 50's at night and daytime in the 60's. Actually nice weather if this rain would just stop. Ugh!
Ann - Thanks! I kept looking at that bird and thinking it looked similar in the face to a bunting, but wasn't sure about the tan color until I thought of Indigo and on a hunch decided to look up female Indigo Bunting! Sure enough, the streaks on it's throat/breast showed up in one of the online photos, so I knew I had the right ID. I sent a photo to the bander and she confirmed it's ID. It was driving me nuts not to be able to ID this bird who is a frequent visitor to my feeder. I felt kind of stupid calling it the mystery bird.
