I finally caught some pics of an Indigo Bunting! The Indigo Bunting was numero uno on my target list ever since I saw one about twelve years ago. In fact, that sighting of this gorgeous little bird was a key reason I took up bird-watching!

​

These pics were taken on the Ancient Trail by Darbydale, and the Edgewood Trail at the Pleasant Valley Area in the Harrisburg/Orient area of central Ohio. Both areas are part of the Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park.

​

With the "capture" of "number one", my target list has changed.

In no particular order:

Scarlet Tanager

Owl (any variety)

A "ground" bird (i.e the Ring-necked Pheasant I heard at Pickerington Ponds)
