Indigo bunting came back!

I am new to the sub but just wanted to share a happy moment with people who might care. A few days ago I noticed a super vibrant indigo bunting under a large tree in my front yard. I was stunned by how beautiful it was. Usually we get some really nice bluebirds or cardinals, but I had never seen an indigo bunting in person before. I understand they migrate to my area (northeast US) in the spring/summer. I saw one again the following day and wanted to try to make sure they would keep coming back.

I researched some good indigo bunting food, bought white proso millet seed, and scattered it around the base of that same tree. Today I just looked out my window and there was an indigo bunting eating right alongside a male and female cardinal! I am absolutely thrilled right now and I hope everyone else gets to enjoy some beautiful birds today! I’ll try to get a picture of him if he sticks around long enough for a good one.
