I was impressed when my non-birding husband immediately said that it was = a picture of an Indigo Bunting. As he told me, it was obviously not a bluebird, and Indigo Bunting was the only other blue bird he could think = of. I guess that after all these years he's picked up some I.D. skills by osmosis.
