SW corner of Christian Cty (~1 mile N of TN state line) Fort Campbell, KY On Wednesday, September 6, 2006 I flushed a bird off a nest in a small dogwood tree while riding an ATV through a field. I didn't have my binoculars with me and didn't get a good look as the bird flew off. The nest contained 4 white eggs so that quickly narrowed the list down. I went back yesterday (Sept 7) with my binocs and was able to confirm the ID as a female Indigo bunting on the nest. I do not have the late nest dates for INBU's in KY, but the Breeding Bird Atlas of TN (Nicholson) lists August 28th as the latest nest date with eggs. This is an extremely late nest for this species regardless of whether it's a breeding record or not. I'll continue to monitor the nest and will report the results later.
