Indigo Bunting

The Indigo Bunting, Passerina cyanea, is a small seed-eating bird in the family

Cardinalidae. It is migratory, ranging from southern Canada to northern Florida during

the breeding season, and from southern Florida to northern South America during the

winter. It often migrates by night, using the stars to navigate. Its habitat is farmland,

brush areas, and open woodland. The Indigo Bunting is closely related to the Lazuli

Bunting, and will interbreed with the latter species where their ranges overlap.
