One thing that I’m having to get used to since moving back to Missouri is all the new “common” species. Ya, I know, the Eurasian Tree Sparrow is now my new best friend, but what I can’t get used to seeing are the Buntings. Deep blue streaks flying all over the place. On every bird walk I take around Innsbrook, I find several pairs of Indigo Buntings. Indigo Buntings for goodness sake! I do a little “happy bird dance” every time I see one (’cause I got no one to high -five) and walk away satisfied that if I see no other bird today that at least I saw an Indigo Bunting.
I’m wondering how long it will take before it becomes one of my “junk birds?” I hope never.
