The Vineyard Field behind SOFO in Bridgehampton continues to be the Indigo Bunting capital of Eastern LI. This year's joint SOFO/ELIAS walk took place this morning and there were at least five, perhaps six, singing males. One of them was a probable first-year male with mixed brown and blue plumage (but singing away as enthusiastically as all the rest.
Other features of the walk were outstanding views of Orchard Oriole and Eastern Bluebird.

Anne Lazarus lists several birds from Saturday's Linnaean walk that I apparently missed (or which they saw on their way in) plus two that I forgot to mention -- Glossy Ibis and Brown-headed Cowbird. The others were Canada Goose, Gadwall, Northern Harrier, Laughing Gull, Roseate Tern, Field Sparrow and Brown-headed Cowbird, Also, in the butterfly department, Spicebush Swallowtail, Southern Cloudywing and a possible Tawny Edge. The last two birds and the butterflies were seen in the EPCAL area.
