Catbird, Dove and Indigo Bunting

I got a few photos of birds this morning while I was out walking with my camera….

Gray Catbird

Mourning DoveĀ  - this pretty dove was perched in some dramatic spotlighting

Indigo Bunting - I was able to get photos of both the female and male. The female is not nearly as brightly colored and is very elusive; I have only seen a female a couple of times before. The male is a little splotchy and I don’t know if he is an immature or a mature male who is losing his Spring plumage.
