Blue feathered visitors make annual migration through Niceville

NicevilleApril 22, 2014Updated:May 2, 20141 Min Read

It seems these past few weeks everywhere you look in Niceville there are striking, blue, Indigo Buntings having a feed and a rest. The Niceville visitors, which are a member of the finch family, have just crossed the Gulf of Mexico in their annual migration.

The blue colored Indigo Buntings are males. The male does not achieve its full solid blue color until its second breeding season. Females are brown in color.

Indigo Buntings range from southern Canada to northern Florida during the breeding season and from southern Florida to northern South America during the winter.
