Bird’s ID – Indigo Bunting
Indigo Bunting
The indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea) is a small seed-eating bird in the cardinal 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 interbreeds with the species where their ranges overlap.

What’s Up? – Thanks to my Friends…
Thanks to my Friends…
It’s remarkable to have extra time now that I cut my blogging to four days a week. My days are somehow longer and more productive for my obligations. Now, I can set an schedule for my days of work and days for the hobbies I love so much, Photography and birds.
The daily blogging was absorbing too much of my time and was stretching my hours to do, too much for too long. I thank you for your loyalty to follow my blog.
I’ll make sure that you get more quality pictures and relevant information about my avian friends, which I care with love and dedication. With your help and gracious comments I’ll thrive for your delight. Thank you!.
My backyard is looking good despite the harsh weather patterns. My fig tree is a beauty and growing so fast it’s unbelievable, it’s making me very happy, because I thought it had not survived last winter’s cold. My Crape Myrtle tree is blooming now and looks incredible!
