    Details

    Originally suspected immature blue grosbeak seen along south end of NWR along treeline. Flew into view from the tall grasses, got photos, shows thick beak w/ gape of immature bird. Overall brown w/ faint double wingbars, faint blue to tail, chest smudgy gray w/ streaks/spotting typical of juvenile birds. Photographed w/ Sony a1, 200-600mm lens at 600mm, ISO 3200, 1/2000 sec. Heard singing "bzzt" calls before seeing, then heard later from treeline where suspected nesting may have occurred. eBird informed me that it is indeed an Indigo Bunting.
