Thanks for weighing in on this little beauty.😃❤️. I'd thought it resembled the Indigo Bunting too, but wasn't sure since the chest and belly weren't blue.  I have an app that usually does a terrific job with identification, but this one has shown up with a few possibilities.  I wish I could've gotten a few more pictures.  I'm not giving up though, so hopefully I'll see him out again.😃

@cheriere    i don't have an app!   i see birds in my yard and usually look on eBird. then read up on their habitat, songs, food they like.    i also look at Rare Bird Alerts.   lots of birdwatchers post photos and record their songs.

i have seen Eastern Bluebirds in the wild, not at feeders, at least in my area.  i had an Indigo Bunting at my bird feeder once for a few days. 

i wish i could hear a Whip-poor-will again.  where  was raised, we had them all around us as kids and they drove us crazy wth their calls, as we tried to sleep.  i haven't heard them in years. sad their habitat got destroyed. too much land development drove them away.

I know most of the birds around here, but I really like having the app to make it easier if I'm not quite sure.  We have a lot of bluebirds here, but I thought the other bird resembled the bunting too.  I really wish I had a bird feeder.  I wanted to get the one QVC was offering during the holidays, but didn't.

I'm still trying to capture shots of a few though that are proving difficult.  So I might bring in reinforcements in the form of birdseed lol. 😃❤️

Thank you so much.😃❤️

Getting pics of the birds is much harder than a flower I'm finding, but I'm getting a little better.

May the universe bless you for appreciating flowers, nature, and all animals big and small.

Wonderful shots, as usual, @cheriere !    Adorable, elusive bluebird.   I'm guessing few of us would get these really close views of them in real life.

This one is just the cutest!

So fun!  Nature is amazing. Bluebirds are incredible, protective, caring parents- And both parents take care of the babies- 

We are on our 2nd brood this year. I see the mama poking her head out every day. She is either sitting on eggs, or newborns- They are a good luck charm!
