Nice! I’ve been trying to get a good photo of one of these guys, I found an area where I can see them but no luck getting one close enough for a photo yet

Thanks! Yeah they can be tough.

That is a lovely image.
I have trouble telling Indigo Buntings and Indigo Grosbeaks apart (Sorry, I am fairly new to learning bird species). I thought this was an Indigo Bunting, but the app says Grosbeak, so it's a new first for me.

Thanks! Blue Grosbeaks are larger, have a thicker bill, and have a rusty wingpatch. That's definitely a Blue Grosbeak!

Beautiful. That green background really helps to set him off.
