Indigo Bunting CN

[Denise Johnson]

I haven’t seen an Indigo Bunting here in Cape Neddick, west of Ogunquit across the t’pike, for 30 years. ‘Course I could’ve missed a migrant or three, but I have one now, at dusk at the finch feeder and on the ground. Lucky me.

Here in the hills of N Nobleboro it has been a very birdy year. It may just be that we are paying better attention as I am on crutches for a few weeks and Lynn has gone to half time work now.
We had wonderful views today of the male Indigo Bunting which has been around for about 10 days, Lynn hears a second but has been unable locate it (maybe female?). As I can't hear the birds well anymore I'm limited to spotting them and then watching.
Also seen today was a Scarlet Tanager. Flitting around high in the oaks. I hoping it's eating the brown-tailed caterpillars. 2 males were seen earlier in the month as well.
In our 30 years here we've never seen Indigo Buntings and only seen Scarlet Tanagers a couple times on the hillside.
