I had an immature Indigo male show up yesterday. First Indigo for me, although a neighbor had told me he sees them on the creek behind his house. He stayed around all day, eating Nyger. There was another feeder nearby with a finch/black sunflower blend, but he never went near it. Hopefully he will stay around.

I've had Painted buntings the past four years, but none this year. They just stay a few days as well. I'm hoping something will show up this year.

Here is a pic of the little Indigo. He is eating Nyger droppings from a feeder located overhead.
