Indigo Bunting

5-27-07 VERMONT: Yesterday I added two monardnas and another hollyhock to the bed below the deck and another lady’s mantle to the new bed and planted the corn, eighty hills, two seeds in each, to be thinned to one each in a few weeks. Today there was a threat of rain and a few brief sprinkles, but Judy and I put out all the benches and chairs.

We had an indigo bunting at the feeders several times today and we saw another one on the road. I never saw one before today. The orioles are getting to be as common as robins, almost. The bunting is the bluest bird I ever saw.

New blooms: may apple, honeysuckle, more azalea.


Blue?
