Indigo Bunting

Here's a shot from yesterday at the Tri-Valley Wildlife Area in Muskingum Co., Ohio. It's a grassland area where I went to photograph sparrows, but I couldn't pass up pointing my camera at this unusually unwary bird. Unlike Garth's immaculate specimen from a couple weeks ago, this bird was already showing signs of feather wear with a few black areas here and there. Fortunately I got his good side here, but I did have to clone in some blue feathers at one spot.

Canon 1D2, 600 + 2x
1/320 sec, f/11
ISO: 400

Uncluttered, simple and highly effective. Great shot.

This is just beautiful, Bob. I've tried to photograph these only once, but I got nothing even close to this!
