Congrats Laura, you lovely series has earned you Spotting of the Day honors! An indigo bunting shows off his brilliant blue breeding plumage in our Spotting of the Day. His appearance will change dramatically after the breeding season when he will become predominantly brown with small traces of blue on the wing-coverts, rump, head and breast.
