Hi -
My apologies for not getting this out earlier. I tried to send a post from
my phone thes morning, but I think it got lost.
Anyway, at 9 AM this morning (Oct. 5) I found an immature male INDIGO
BUNTING at Talking Waters in Albany. The bird was in the small alders at
the southwest corner (near the parking area) of the complex. A second,
paler bunting was also present, which I assume was a Lazuli, but I did not
see it as well.
The Indigo was mostly rich brown, including head and upperparts, with blue
in the tail, particularly at the base. It also had a speckling of blue
feathers on the belly. Otherwise, the round-headed appearance, size, dark
conical bill, and posture were typicat of Indigo.
