JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

First time for this guy/gal at the station.  I  *think* it may be a Blue Bunting female or a male coming into his summer plumage.  Anyone?  From the Oly.

It does look a lot like the molting picture of Indigo Bunting in my bird book, although the book shows it in full profile.  So it's difficult to be absolutely sure.

Great pictures of him and you'll just have to keep track until he's fully feathered so we can all see!  :D

THAT'S what I meant... Indigo... sheesh!  Half my brain is out looking for the other half!  I hope he comes back.

How's bout this link? It really is difficult to tell but its been bugging me alot and have been doing lots of comparisons with your pics from one tab to another of what photos I could find...Since you've see it person you may remember the colors more vividly.

YOu have such a wide variety of birda in your yard.  They are so beautiful.  Have you seen bluebirds yet?  Have you thought of putting a bluebird box up to encourage them?

It is so cool to see this one though.

One of the best things I've ever done was put up that feeding station, Judy.  No bluebirds yet.  I would put up a bluebird box but first, I have to find out what one is! heheheh  ;D
