I have to put in my 2 cents on indigos. I have found
indigos just about anywhere there is a gap in the
canopy. They like edges and grown up fields sure, but
I have also found them to be VERY common in extensive
bottomland hardwood forests in Louisiana, canopy gap
or not. In short, I had 138 point count locations at
my old study site in Louisiana and we recorded indigos
on every point, which included 54 points in mature,
uncut (60+ yrs since harvest), closed canopy forest.
I found afew around tree falls on Bear Hollow Mountain
WMA this week in Franklin county. You make a gap and
Indigos will be there.
