This morning I posted that I had seen an indigo bunting at my feeders 
yesterday.  This morning I looked out at my feeders and had a very good, clear 
shot of a blue grosbeak, who sat for several minutes on top of one of my feeder 
poles.  His wide chestnut wing bars were clearly visible.  Makes me wonder if 
the quick view I got yesterday of the indigo was really a blue grosbeak.  I do 
have indigo buntings visit my feeders a few times every spring, so it is 
possible I was not mistaken.  I guess I'll never know.  Anyway,  this is the 
first blue grosbeak I've ever seen here in Knoxville and I've never seen them 
in my yard before.  In fact, I don't believe I've seen a blue grosbeak in 
several years.  It was quite a treat!
