[Birdtalk] Re: Indigo Bunting

[Dave Hanscom]

My thanks also to Dennis, who I met this morning on my way back from 
seeing the Indigo Bunting.  I also had success finding the Long-eared Owls 
and Pinyon Jays that he provided directions to last week.  A special bonus 
was a pair of Northern Mockingbirds about a quarter mile north of Chimney 
Rock, in the same area where the Pinyon Jays were hanging out.
