1262 SERIES - Indigo Bunting.jpg

Ottawa West

Two images, one each of Mrs. and Mr. Indigo Bunting. Like with the Scarlet Tanagers posted yesterday (click "Next"), we don't see the female nearly as often as the colourful, stand-out male; hence, I had to borrow her from previous years. Both were taken in the same area where they can usually be found every Spring. Perhaps the females spend more time nest-building and sitting on the nest, or maybe they are just shy??? I find them both to be equally beautiful.

Top image: Mrs. Indigo Bunting, taken in 2017.


Mr. Indigo Bunting, taken this Spring.

Elle est peut-être plus discrète et passe inaperçue… pour sa compo j'ai un faible pour la deuxième!

makes sense that females, mothers after all, are more elusive...the two images add up to a happy marriage...
