Today on our journey south we
stopped for some birding at the Arcata Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary. We
birded for 2 hours and identified 20 birds, which is not that great, just
average, but what was great is that we got two Life Time birds, Allen’s
Hummingbird and a rare Indigo Bunting. We would never have known about the
Bunting except that two local birders, Holley & Ron Vetter, mention it to us and
then were gracious enough to take us to the known location. Of course the bird did not show, but just
before giving up Jeanette played its song on her iPod, some confusion followed
as we realized we were now hearing the actual bird sing not Jeanette’s
iPod. We then spotted him and enjoyed
watching him sing and pose for a photograph.
Great shot! You can almost see the song he's singing.
