Title: Bunting Hunting
Post by: MEGHAN on June 17, 2011, 09:31:38 AM

So I've been seeing all these great shots of Indigo Buntings and I thought I'd give it a try.
Thanks to Richard for his half assed directions.  :lol: Thanks buddy, I owe you one!
I found about 30 or so Indigo Buntings in Riverwood Park yesterday. So anyone looking to shoot them, this is the place to be right now.
For the 3 birds in these pictures I didn't even have to get out of my car.
Thanks for looking.

Good Lord! That's incredible! Well done! One day I'll figure out where Riverwood P is and I'll hitch-hike there! I've yet to taxidermy an indigo b. so here I come, Mississauga

Thanks Reg!!

David, thanks for the compliment and for the prior warning you'll be visiting my fair city.
We'll be waiting for you.
There are enough Buntings at Riverwood that a few would not be missed, just leave 1 or 2 for the locals to look at.
 :D

Lovely shots Meghan! Where were you at Riverwood to get those shots without leaving your car?!

I was there today too peek in on the Cooper's chicks, and shot some buntings and hummingbirds too :)

Thanks BirdNerd, I found a ton of IB by the tree line that runs by the road through the park.
