I have visited Hawk Ridge on Duluth’s Skyline Parkway three times in the past week, and each visit has yielded three Indigo Buntings sightings, and I am convinced each sighting in the same exact bird. If you walk down the stairs from the road to the path along the ledges … proceeding to you left (NE) till you almost reach the trees, this bird loves the top branches of the two aspens. Use Merlin to call out once or twice and the bunting will come calling!

I recall my first one. Just south of Kelly Lake on the east side of the tracks.
