At 7:50pm on July 3-2017, Gabriele Cuff found and photographed a Male Indigo Bunting east of Whatcom Rd at the end of Florence Drive in Lower Sumas Mtn.
Directions to where she saw the bird (about a 5 min walk from the end of Florence Dr.):
At the end of Florence Dr, the formal road ends, and there is a metal gate. Beyond the gate there is an area that is being developed. You follow the crushed rock roadway which goes up a hill, and then down again. You will see large mounds of dirt to the right and then there are small alder trees that are along the right side of the roadway. This is just before a roadway that forks off to the right. This is the spot where she saw the bird in an Alder tree. She saw the bird for 20 seconds, before it flew west.
A map to the exact location, she saw the bird is HERE
She looked for it on the evening of July 5th but did not relocate it.
On July 6th, the bird continues in the same location as of 8:30pm.
On July 7th, multiple observers looked for the bird but it was not relocated.
*Since the area is under development, anyone going to look for this bird should do so after working hours or on weekends. Please follow the directions of all construction signs in the area.*

Just wondering if anyone has seen this bird in the past few days? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Joan, Unfortunately despite many observers looking, it has not been seen since July 6th.
