Lazuli's Bunting - Osoyoos Cottages, BC During a 110 degree day on Osoyoos Lake, we found a Lazuli's bunting hiding from the sun under some maple leaves. This handsome little bird was panting away but happened to come out for a bit of a photo shoot. I had never noticed before that these birds had blue thighs. They are closely related to the Indigo bunting which is is more of an eastern bird where as the Lazuli's spends most of its time on the western parts of North America.
