Roland, Peter also wrote me to confirm it was an indigo bunting, although I
haven't seen the fuzzy photo.  Tell him that indigo buntings (and blue
grosbeaks, too) are regular migrant overshoots every spring in Nova Scotia,
but they belong further south and it is unlikely that any will linger past
early summer?  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

Subject: [NatureNS] Indigo bunting - Antigonish

Just for the record - Peter's bird is a beautiful indigo bunting. He sent me
a picture of it - a rather unusual out of focus picture, but the bird is
certainly what he thought it was. It seems to be eating nyger seed - he says
he is going to go out and camp on the front lawn so he can get a better
picture of it. Peter is not a bird watcher, but he may be catching the
fever. I told him I always thought the bird was usually seen in April and
didn't stay to breed here - he wants to know where it is heading.

Roland.
