Backyard Bunting

Sometimes, among all the finches and sparrows, I see something truly spectacular land in my backyard. This time it was a Lazuli Bunting!

This was my very first time seeing a Bunting and, needless to say, I was absolutely thrilled!

Look at those beautiful bold colors! How exciting to have such a stunning bird come right to my backyard.

 And here is the female who accompanied the male...

 She's uniquely different from the other birds I normally see in my backyard, too!

And, because it's #PollinatorWeek, here is a bonus photo of a butterfly checking out my--you guessed it!--butterfly bush...

Happy Birding!!!
