Lazuli buntings are striking birds found in western North America. I love that even the females—which, like with most birds, are drabber than the male—have a tinge of blue!

This piece is a companion to my indigo bunting painting, and will appear in the next issue of Living Bird in a profile featuring related eastern and western species. Having recently moved from coast to coast, it was a nice project to tie together my past year of birding!

LAZBs are known as “fire followers”. They like the flowered hillsides that grow up in the early years after a chaparral wildfire.

If you’ve followed me long enough you know that many of my favorite local birding sites burned in the massive Thomas Fire in December of 2017. We’re now T-plus-18-months, and the flowering hillsides are full of these beautiful birds. I saw a female this morning; here’s a photo of a male that I took a few weeks ago.

Talking Marriage Live was a success!! We had a sold out house and I’m feeling pretty good about our chances to do it again. A lot of fun bits, like Guy Time, a  visit from Ryan’s wife’s best friend, a filmed Man on Man segment with Nick D’Agosto that should be finding it’s way online soon, the introduction of the WifeTracker 3000, and a surprise wedding for 2 lucky random people in the audience, one of whom happened to be Miss marykatewiles!

We taped the whole show but we’re not sure if we’ll release the it all. Maybe bits and pieces. But our 2 filmed segments should be online in some form by the beginning of season 3.
