Media notes
Bird was in the shadows of the tree which dulled color a bit and of course against a blue sky did not help. Was near water so could not get a better observation for picture.
Observation details
Bird was seen by my companion who birds with me daily first as she did not recognize the song. The Bird was singing in tree as seen in pictures. Bird was all blue with a black mask in face. Was not sure till came home and reviewed on "All About Birds" for sound and color match. Bird was singing a song about every minute or so. Was observed for approximately 10 minutes. Beautiful bird.
