Thanks for the help with IDing this Indigo Bunting. Sadly, it's the only one I saw all summer long - but hopefully will see it again next year!
Spotted on power lines near an uncultivated area next to a mining operation in Kennesaw, GA

Nice spotting!
thanks!
Yep, Indigo Bunting.
I would say this is an Indigo Bunting. The beak of the Blue Grosbeak would be more pronounced and, even at this angle, you would expect to see a hint of the rusty color of the wings. Since the wings of the Indigo Bunting are also blue, this strongly suggests a Bunting to me.
