Only once did I ever see an indigo Bunting at the birdfeeder, and that was at my previous house that was really rather woodsy. It’s funny how birds tend to gather in some areas and not others. I had a friend who lived 8 miles from me whose feeder was loaded with them as well as grosbeaks. When I moved into my current house I found I saw very few Cardinals, whereas we had loads of them where we lived before, only 15 miles from here. I do enjoy watching the birds. I have had a baby eagle out on my deck, so that’s something. Hope you had a nice Mother’s Day.
