My first shot with my newer, new camera!! I sent the Panasonic back and now have a Canon S5 IS.

The Indigo Bunting, Passerina cyanea, is a small seed-eating bird in the family Cardinalidae.

Adult males have deep blue plumage; the wing and tail are black with blue edges. Adult females are brown: darker on the upperparts, faintly streaked underneath.

The song of this bird is a high-pitched buzzed sweet-sweet chew-chew sweet-sweet.

Any and all comments and critiques welcome!!

Who's a pretty birdie then?
Easy to understand the cyanea in its name - it is a stunning blue and your new new camera has captured it beautifully.
OK, somne of the credit can go to you as well :)

It's not how many megapixels. But how you use the ones you have.
