Indigo Bunting, male, stopped off at the wetlands park during his migration to eat the rice seed that grows wild. They usually stay for about a week and fill up on the rice before continuing their migration. Only come around to this area every April.
Adapted from film to digital about ten years ago. Still use my 4x5 view camera at times, love black and white photography. In 1975 I was one of 18 photographers to attend an Ansel Adams photographic work shop, Yosemite National Park, California. A wonderful experience. Turned to stock photography and was with four stock photo agencies, two in the United States and two in Europe. Down to two agencies due to the cost of converting film to digitals. Digital photography knocked out two of the agencies I was with.
