I have had two indigo buntings here in Barrington. I compared these
with the other two bluebirds I saw: The indigo buntings have a dark blue
colour: the other blue birds were a lighter blue, and appeared to have some
white below their waist. The indigo birds had a little black around their
eyes and beak - the other birds did not have any dark black on their head.
The indigo birds had a darker colour on their tail - the other birds had the
same light blue colour there.
My conclusion is that not all blue birds are indigo buntings, and we
should not assume that they are. I am
convinced that there are at least two little blue birds - very pretty
little birds - that have a different name. I would suggest that we look
over our blue birds very carefully, these two that I saw deserve a warm
welcome to NS. I really don't know though if they are heading for Wood's
Harbour or for Shelburne.
Roland.
