Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea)

Photos by BarrytheBirder


A charming deep blue finch that inhabits woodland clearings and edges, thickets, brushy borders, regenerating pastures and open country in the eastern United States and south-central Canada.   It is rare but regular to Atlantic Canada.   It is 5 1/2" long, like most other buntings, and its song is bright jumble of strident warbling that can last well into August.   It winters primarily in Central America to nw. Columbia.
