Indigo Buntings?

[tragedyackt]

I am looking for birds! Specifically I would love to find some blue birds. Something with Indigo Buntings would be amazing or Steller's Jays or pretty much anything in that brilliant blue color. I recently painted my study Indigo Bunting blue and that room makes me so happy now that I want to bring that color into my bedroom. I had been wanting to cross stitch some birds and now Indigo Buntings seem perfect. Does anyone know of a kit like that or a place I'm likely to find a pattern? I'm a long time cross stitcher but completely new to the community so I don't know any of the normal places. Also, as I'm on a total bird kick right now, does anyone know any places I could find small free bird patterns? I found one place full of hummingbirds just by chance and they were so cute I can't help but wonder if there are other places I could find tiny little bird patterns that I could use on bookmarks and the like. Thanks everyone!

Thank you! I ordered a book of charts of all the North American Buntings and downloaded all the birds in the free section of that site you linked me. None of them have quite that color I'm looking for but I can substitute the colors easily. God do I love that color. It's really way too bright for the room but it's so pretty. It's weird that there's so few charts. I've never seen a kit and that one book of buntings is all I've ever seen. I always thought of birds as being pretty popular but I can only find winter birds. Anyone have anything else?

I just did a google search on cross stitch+indigo bunting, it seemed to list quite a few although I didn't look at them all. This is the first one it came up with:

Yeah, I saw that one but was looking for something less country artsy and more actual bird-like, ya know? I ended up ordering this http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-bin/itemdetail.pl?item=CW7" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank and I hope it's right. I can't find a good picture really but I think it looks like it'll work.
