Zenaida auriculata

Floofy bird alert! The songbird splendor is in full force right now as birds sing in their bright breeding feathers across the country. Matching a brilliant blue sky, male indigo buntings are one of the species serenading much of the Eastern United States from the treetops. Indigo buntings are expert travelers, wintering in south Florida to northern South America, but coming north to breed. They migrate their impressive 1,200 miles each way at night, using the stars as their guide. Noticing and appreciating our feathered neighbors is a perfect way to celebrate spring.
