Indigo Bunting

Bird watching is in my blood. Can't help it. My Grandpa Colyn was the ULTIMATE bird watcher and he was SO good at it. My Grandma Colyn is good too, she can literally hear a bird and know what that bird is. One evening at my parents house their dog Newman brought this bird into the house in his mouth. Even for you non birders out there- you'll be impressed with this beauty- it's called an Indigo Bunting. Luckily the bird was not harmed and we watched him fly away out into the woods in the back of the house.

God made some beautiful things, didn't he?

I liked this story! We used to listen to bird call albums when I was growing up! Tweet - Tweet: A deep voice would say, "The Indigo Bunting"

Bet not many people share that memory!!
