Indigo Buntings are common birds in the eastern half of the United States and southeastern Canada. You can attract them to your yard by offering a variety of seeds. They also eat insects.

Here in the United States we celebrate our Independence Day tomorrow, July 4th. Since the holiday falls on Sunday this year, many companies give their employees Monday off from work, so we have a nice three-day weekend.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteIndigo buntings are beautiful but rarely have I seen one though living in their nesting area.

Every year we have an Indigo Bunting in our yard for a couple of days, but this year nary a one. And they are all around us too.
ReplyDeleteThat bunting is a beauty. I don’t know if they are here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog
ReplyDeleteHappy JUly 4th!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great range of animals - its mid-winter here so insects are a bit thin on the ground nr me. I find it hard to believe that the bunting is common!
