Been tough getting an Indigo Bunting in my
binocular, this year, even in places I used to see them. Not sure the reason, but I have been carrying my binocular more than usual this time of year, in the hopes that I can still add one to my
birding year list. Seems to be one or two bird species every year that escape my list and this year it is the Indigo. Best chance to see this bird will now be later, during migration. Of course, I could ride my bicycle out into new areas and do some heavy
scouting with the
binocular, but that seems a long shot. Still, I believe in the old birding adage, "Same area, same birds."
