I couldn't make the NTOS walk today, so after filling the feeders and watering 
the plants I decided to watch the birds for a while, I've had Rose-breasted 
Gross beaks at the feeders for several days now as many as 15, I'm sitting 
there watching the Gross beaks take over the feeders and I see a strange little 
brown bird that I haven't seen before it was a little smaller then a female 
gross beak.

After a few minutes I figured out what it was because the male showed up a 
Indigo Bunting I watched for a little while and ended up have 4 male indigos 
and 3 female indigos at the feeders.

This is a first for my yard.  So my day is a good one.
