Indigo Buntings at Black Rock Forest!

Indigo buntings, blue as the sky, were among the gorgeous and amazing birds we saw at Black Rock Forest on Monday. Tim and i were lucky enough to participate in BRF’s annual Migrating Bird Walk along with about a dozen other folks. The 3-hour walk was led by BRF ornithologists and other staff members, who are all great teachers. My great THANKS to them, and to our new friend Dan, who drove us up to the starting point in his cool, high-clearance car.

But those birds! (This photo is from the website of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.)

Indigo buntings, like this one, were just some of the birds we saw at Black Rock Forest.
