Today's post is sad because this beautiful creature is dead. I found it in my yard. It was not beneath a window, and we have no cat or other predator pet. I see these birds so seldom, it was distressing to find a dead one.
Yes, it's an Indigo Bunting. They are such a stunning blue. The best you can do when you find some dead creature is to study it and increase your knowledge base. I'm not even very sad when it's something common, but this one hurts a bit.
In other news: I was going to check in my gear for the NY trip, but I ended up spending most of the day updating my author web site because it needs to be in tip-top shape for viewing- I'm hoping to get into a particular book vending event, and they need to see my web site. You can check it out at Books Leaving Footprints. The list of events I'll be at this summer is updated.
A little gardening happened too. A (very) little rain. Still hope for some decent precipitation overnight, but radar shows most of it sliding by.

Charlee: "Our Dada picked up one of these calling on his Merlin app one time not long ago, but didn't see it. Neither did I, sadly ..."
Charlee- I suspect you and Dada have divergent motives
