Tara, it IS exciting! I'm surprised you have the painted buntings too. I had originally hoped maybe I would be the exception & actually have some show up here but they aren't known to be here so I'm hoping against hope. I was so sad that when we moved I knew we'd loose our painted buntings but to have indigos makes up for the loss. Buntings are soooooooo shy. It takes them a good while to get used to you & their surroundings. We've seen Mr. Indigo numerous times late yesterday & this morning but it's a look & then flit! away he goes. Pretty sure there was a female here this morning too but didn't get a good enough look to positively ID her. I keep seeing the male & every time I get camera in hand --- zoom! he's flying back to the trees. I was willing to settle for a crappy photo shot through the screen of the back porch but so far no luck.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
