Indigo Bunting - Wardner, BC
A big surprise for the Kootenays this year when this beautiful Indigo bunting showed up in Wardner. It took a little sleuthing from the Merlin bird app, and some help from my friends at BC Rare Bird Alert, but the bird was found on the shores of Haha Lake singing his little heart out. These small seed eaters rarely come north of the border here in British Columbia, but we were lucky enough to see two in the province with the other bird showing up at Colony Farms in Coquitlam, BC.
