I thought I had seen one down by Twin Creek this morning but didn't get a
good enough look for a positive id (especially considering I had never seen
one) and figured it was an early indigo bunting. Late this afternoon one
showed up in my backyard! Then a coopers hawk made a surprise attack which
scattered all the birds and it never returned.
I got one decent shot of it before the coopers hawk interrupted my fun .

Also had a beautiful male Baltimore oriole and male yellow-rumped warbler.
An exciting, and colorful day!
