New Trails & Indigo Buntings

Took a short hike in the Greenbelt this morning, including the newly cleared trails West of McCoy (North of the creek). Saw lots of butterflies, & wild flowers. Bird species count for the morning was 35, most of the usual suspects for this time of year. The big find was this beautiful Indigo Bunting. Sorry for the poor photo quality, but the bird was hiding way back in the shadows. I had to do alot of editing to make the bird recognizable at all.
**EDIT** Went back to the same area today & found another Indigo (& heard several more), but todays photos were even worse. I'll get him next time!
