[EBB Sightings] Male Indigo Bunting continues at Garin/Dry Creek Regional Park (Alameda County)

Good directions, Mike--especially for morning viewing.
  I saw the bunting yesterday morning (along with
another EBBC person) and, from the road the birds was
pretty drab, owing to the sun being behind him. There
was a bit of a blue aura, but he looked mostly black.
By crossing the creek and the field, going into the
area with the thistles--thus putting the sun behind me
and shining directly on him--I could see his full,
glorious color. I would imagine that in the afternoon
the road would be the place from which to view him.
Cheers,
Alan Howe
