We get a handful of these every winter. They have great iridescence on the head if you can get them in sunlight
This one spent far more time underwater than it did above, but it didn't mind me being near by

Maybe this one. Taken from inside the car if I remember correct. It was only around for a few seconds.

Oh yeah this indigo bunting bit they’re pretty easy to find this time of year and definitely not my best phot of one. I try not to take them for granted.

I’d mentioned I would look for some painted buntings and i did. I heard some and blue grosbeak and red eyed vireo which are somewhat uncommon. This was the highlight though. Not a bird.
