Sparrow Rock has had an Indigo Bunting for a few days. It’s been eating grass seeds. Seed eating birds have beaks that let them separate the husk from the kernel. Watching this bunting, strip off grass seeds, and then husk the seeds, has been fairly easy. It has often been eating seeds within fifteen feet of observers.
