    Nice photos! I have yet to see an Indigo Bunting this year. Where did you find the one(s) in your pictures?

    Clint, these are really fabulous! Have you shown these to http://www.dec.ny.gov/pubs/conservationist.html? You and Naomi are such a valuable resource.

    Ellen,

    These were taken at Oakwood Cemetery by the overlook. He is there every day. I was able to get closer for these shots than I have in the past and he posed nicely for me.

    Mark,

    I didn’t hear or read anything about the Eagles at Ashokan this season. Too bad about the nest - those are such huge nests, they must take forever to build. Thanks for stopping by.
