For some time there has been a rare (for Southern California) bird residing near me at Lake Hodges, near Escondido, CA. An Indigo Bunting. There have been many images posted on social media of this individual bird over the last month, so I decided to pursue my own. I took many images on the 4th and this is my first processed image. While this is the proverbial BOAS, who can resist the blue. A distracting OOF twig was cloned out in front the bird.
