20170603 1216 SERIES - Indigo Bunting.jpg

Ottawa West

Three images of this Series entitled "LOVE IS IN TH AIR!"

Top image: The male Indigo Bunting quivers with exitement as the quivering female ..............


............ repeatedly submits herself for an intimate union.


And, so it goes. I watched them do this several times over a 15 minute period.

I had never photographed a female Indigo Bunting before as mostly we only see males. I went back a few days later and found only some males with no sign of females. They were probably house-building/sitting by that time and were not in the mood for more intemancy.

Nikon D800 ,AF-S NIKKOR 200-500 mm ED
1/800s f/6.3 at 500.0mm iso360 full exif
