Indigo Bunting Song =

The male Indigo Bunting is a rich, deep blue all over, but may appear dark and blackish in poor light. Song is composed of loud, strident high-pitched notes that are often delivered in pairs. A popular memory-phrase for the song is "fire-fire, where-where, here-here, seeit-seeit." Indigo Buntings frequent forest clearings and second-growth habitat in the East and Midwest.
