Male Blue Grosbeak. (Passerina caerulea). Often confused with the Indigo Bunting...I did it yesterday. This is my first sighting ( I think!) The female is entirely brown. The grosbeak has more rusty brown wing bars and a heavier beak than the indigo bunting. I have a lifetime bird list that now has a new checkmark.
