So many brilliant colors in the birds of summer. This is one, with knock your socks off color, Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea).

A member of the Cardinal family, Cardinalidae, that eats seeds, insects and spiders.

The Indigo Bunting often migrates by night, using the stars to navigate. That ability is absolutely remarkable.
