[nysbirds-l] Otis Pike, Fresh Pond Area, Indigo Bunting, Scarlet Tanager

Early survey work lead to a spotting of an Indigo Bunting. While referring to the field guide to double check that I didn't miss ID it (there has been a Blue Grosbeak in the area) I was buzzed by a Scarlet Tanager both male and female. It was a nice end to a long morning. Chip Hamilton Bird

If an individual is going to transport the carcass to an institution that has the proper permits the transporter should get verbal permission from the recipient before moving the carcass. Since this may be a bird that was shot, I would highly recommend the individual to contact the local ECO
