I think this is an Indigo Bunting. But I could be wrong. In any case, this is THE BIRD that wakes me up every morning. I swear this bird is neurotic. For the last month it has not shut up. It has about 6 perches surrounding my house that it flits upon which it sings the same song...over and over and over. I've not seen another of its kind anywhere nearby so to whom it is singing...I'm not sure. If he is screaming for a mate then I say:
"Dude, you need to go look elsewhere. If a female hasn't answered your call it means one of two things. Either there is not a female of your kind around, or, maybe you need to take up some singing lessons. You are quite handsome, but you yak way too much."
Anyone out there that can fill me in on this creature's bizarre behavior?
Note: This photo was taken early yesterday morning from my bedroom window. The bird is perched on top of the dead Maple tree that adorns our front lawn. I used a 300 mm lens w/1.5 teleconverter. I was getting dressed and heard the all too familiar bird. So, clad only in my underwear I took this photo. Thankfully, we don't have many neighbors.
