What kind of blue bird???

8 years ago

This little guy flew into a window this morning and didn't make it. I've never seen anything like this in the wild before. The pictures are dark. The bird is a more vibrant blue with turquoise/teal depending on the light. Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? The area is Houston.

Male Indigo Bunting. How sad it did not recover from the window hit. Such a beautiful bird!

I agree with above. Male Indigo Bunting. I love seeing them at the feeder, especially with gold finches....they remind me of blue and yellow Easter eggs. Poor little guy.. : (
