Indigo buntings are a fascinating songbird of the eastern United States, much of the midwest, and part of the western U.S. The male indigo is a beautiful indigo, azure, ultramarine hue with ample sunlight on him. He molts in the fall and loses much of his brilliance. The female is a brown color, which helps her to remain concealed when nesting time arrives. Having never seen an indigo bunting myself, I am quite curious about the descriptions of the bird offered by persons who have seen it in the wild, at least on one occasion. My e-book relates these descriptions along with reports of indigo bunting behavior, range, diet, etc. I have used newspaper clippings from throughout the twentieth century concerning indigos. I have also utilized more recent texts to complement the vintage reference material.
