The Oak Openings area in NW Ohio proved to be a pretty hopping locaction for Indigo Buntings last summer.

All comments are welcome. Thanks for looking! :)

beautiful little guy, Laura! I seem to recall some similar to this a few months ago but I don't think they had the open bill? In any event this really is fantastic!

Oh Laura, this is sweet. Taking a bit off the bottom the get the branch into the corner would make it stronger.

Absolutely georgeous. I love that the leaves are OOF enough to not make them distracting, yet in focus enough to add to the surrounding. I agree w/ Alan's suggestion.

Sweet shot! I would crop the bottom to put the perch into the corner, but that's more an observation not a nit! Good capture to get the open beak! 8) 8) 8) :)
