Mark5 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 1) The forums are back!!! 2) From June 6th of this year. North Park Nature Center in Chicago. I heard this bird for a while before I could track it down. Moving around the canopy maybe 30 feet off the ground. Vocalizing frequently. The sound was 3 or 4 notes and then bzzzzz. I thought I was hearing a dickcissel and that it was weird that it would be up in a tree. The photos look like a female indigo bunting to me, but a female would not be vocalizing like this I don't think. Any guidance?

akiley Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This is a young male Indigo Bunting. Blue appears to be coming in, and it also explains why it was singing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
