I'm not great with identifying birds but found this link. Maybe an Indigo Bunting???

RGEOUS!!! wow...

yep, everyone pegged the Narcissus... looks like they naturalize for you too. (good thing I didn't name any flowers after MY ex...

)

The key to a nice-looking lawn is a good mower. I recommend one who is muscular and shirtless.

I showed my 17 year old son the picture of the bird, and he thinks it's an Indigo Bunting, so I looked it up, and it does look like one, and it says it's a "seed-eating" bird!!!

Definitely an Indigo. I have maybe four pair nesting right now and they are such a joy to watch.

thank you all for your help!
This is the first year I've seen that bird so very new to me. I couldn't believe how blue he is and so beautiful! I tried telling everyone here about it but I don't think they believed me till I got the picture lol
My MIL always called the flowers James White lilies and I knew that wasn't right lol Sure is nice to know what they are now and I owe that to all of you, big thank you!!
