The Indigo Bunting is a small songbird native to North America, known for its vibrant blue plumage in males during the breeding season. Females and young birds are brown and streaked, providing camouflage. These birds typically inhabit open woodlands, fields, and shrubby areas, where they can easily find seeds and insects to eat. Indigo Buntings are migratory, traveling thousands of miles between their breeding grounds in the eastern United States and wintering areas in Central America. They are known for their sweet, melodic songs, which they use to establish territory and attract mates during the breeding season.
