indigo bunting

Passerina cyanea

Description:

Bright blue feathers all over with some black wing feathers. Smaller than an American robin and larger than a Carolina wren. Rounded head, short yellow beak, short legs.

Habitat:

This bird was hopping around in the grass and flower bed, alternately perching on a maple tree branch, in the front yard of a suburban home.

Notes:

This is the first time I've ever seen an indigo bunting in Alabama, and I'm 66 years old. I saw one in Kentucky several years ago.
