I was on my way home to Port Angeles from an extended road trip and 
decided to do a bit of birding. I used the WA Guide to go to Biscuit 
Ridge road in Walla Walla county. While there I met several birders who 
very kindly shared their day list and tips. While creeping and stopping 
I saw a male Indigo bunting. It flew in, perched on the power line for 
good looks. It was solid dark blue  with no apparent markings in good 
light. The tail was slightly scalloped. I have seen Indigos many times 
having grown up in AR. and just saw several there last week, so I'm 
confident of my ID. However when I looked up the ebird reports for 
Biscuit Ridge I did not find any historical reports, so  I decided I 
should report my sighting.
I am not putting on ebird since I didn't keep track of time, distance, 
or count of birds seen - just a listing for my personal records. also, I 
imagine if I tried to submit it on ebird it would be bounced for lack of 
context, photo and rarity. But I just felt the need to post it in case 
anyone was interested.
