Indigo Bunting

Finally - a decent shot of this species! I'm trying to include more (and more interesting!) foliage in my shots, so I am really stoked with this perch. The touch of maroon is fun, and I like how the overnight fog precipitated onto the leaves (you'll need to look closely). I went with a wide crop to highlight the perch; the bird is so strikingly blue that I think it still cracks in the wide surrounds.
