So today when I left work to go pick up my kid from school I checked out the brush at the far end of the parking lot before driving off.  I heard a Yellow Warbler singing!  My first warbler this year!  Then something even more amazing happened, I spotted a gorgeous bird I hadn't seen in over 6 years — an Indigo Bunting.

Indigo Buntings have iridescent blue plumage that lights up when the sunlight hits it, and they are often described as “electric blue”.  I feel incredibly lucky right now, given how long it has been since I've been able to enjoy watching an Indigo Bunting, and I am filled with anticipation for my birding trip tomorrow to Mt. Auburn Cemetery!  Woo-hah!
