Usually fairly uncommon, Indigos showed up in flocks this Spring, often with a Lazuli Bunting mixed in.

This summer brought two male Painted Buntings to my feeders for the breeding season, and as many as 8 at a time near the end of breeding season. Severe drought apparently destroyed whatever their normal food source is.
