Oh my, those wonderful blues. Lucky you! I had a very brief encounter with an Indigo Bunting back in May. No photos unfortunatey, but it was gorgeous! We get Rosebreasted grosbeaks here...all family members. We've got baby woodpeckers, baby sparrows, purple finches. It's such fun to see the families :)<br />Wonderful photos of all the critters. I know how hard it is to get those hummingbird moths. Great job! Aren't those carpenter bees huge? Really great closeups!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-61234088469364534032009-07-14T15:29:33.527-04:002009-07-14T15:29:33.527-04:00Love the birds!
