I had two first time visitors to my backyard feeders this week. When I returned home from my AM walk there waiting for me on the birdbath was a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. I tried to sneak into the house to get my camera but that spooked him and he flew away. From inside I was able to see through the window a male Indigo Bunting sitting on the bird feeder. He was brilliantly blue in full breeding plumage and stayed at the feeder long enough to get many pictures of him. I then noticed that the Grosbeak had returned to the other feeder and I was able to get the picture that I had missed out on earlier. Two migrants on their way from southern climes to their breeding grounds father north had stopped by for a drink and a little food before continuing on their journey.
