Hi All,

This bird is new to our backyard. Yay! I have looked at the pictures of blue birds but still can't say for sure what he is. This was the best picture we could get of him. He stayed on the ground below the feeder and mostly out of sight under out carpet roses. Thanks in advance! We are in central North Carolina and saw him on Saturday.
