Two days ago we had a flock of three indigo buntings visit us. We have had one indigo bunting come to feed on the birdseed on the ground for weeks. This time he brought his friends. They are aptly named: it is a small bird deeply purple all over. I’ve read they feed in flocks but this is the first time in a long time I have seen more than one at a time. It is always a treat to watch one, for they are so beautiful and uniquely colored. There is no other bird like them here. They are “jewels.”
