Outdoor Wednesday,-"CORRECTION"

!!!!!CORRECTION!!!!!

I AM SOOOOOOO SORRY!

First, thank you Susan for hosting Outdoor Wednesday at http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/

Now for the CORRECTION!

I referred to this as a bluebird in my first post. I was totally wrong. (Thanks, Pat, my fellow Missourian.) It is really an Indigo Bunting.

National Geographic says:
Appearance
Finchlike
Typical Voice
Adult Description
Small songbird.
Short, thick bill.
Male brilliant dark blue all over.
Female dull brown.
Male Plumage for breeding: Blue all over, deepest on head. Black in front of eyes. Occasionally with some brown on back, wing, breast, or under tail, or whitish on belly. Wing feathers dark, edged in blue. Upper bill blackish, lower mandible blue-gray. Non-breeding (Basic) Plumage: Brown, with some blue edges to scattered feathers; some birds may be more blue than brown. Often whitish on lower belly and under tail. Blackish in front of eyes. Bill whitish to blue-gray. Gape yellowish.
Female Description - All brown. Unstreaked or with indistinct streaks on chest. Faint buff wingbars. May have some blue-tinged feathers on wing, tail, or rump. Upper bill brown to blackish, lower mandible pale.
Immature Description Similar to adult female, with brighter buff wingbars. First-year male shows variable amount of blue and brown, may have distinct wingbars.


Similar Species
Eastern Bluebird had reddish chest and white belly.
Blue Grosbeak larger, with much thicker bill and obvious rufous wingbars.
Female Lazuli Bunting similar, but has more uniform pinkish buff breast and throat, and more conspicuous wingbars.
Female Varied Bunting more uniformly brown, without trace of wingbars, and a slightly more stubby bill.

is a correct picture of an Eastern Bluebird.

I guess I was just "Bird-Brained"! Again, I am sorry for the incorrect information.
