An Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea), here for the summer, has found the perfect perch for posing.

I used to often bike along the W&OD Trail, in Northern Virginia, where I’d frequently see these beautiful birds sitting on utility wires, singing their, “what! what! where? where? see it! see it!” song, as I peddled past. I loved seeing them there, and now I get to see them right out my kitchen window.
