The Varied Bunting is a small, stunning bird found in arid regions, with males displaying a complex and beautiful mix of deep purplish-blue, red, and black plumage.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid scrublands, thorn forests, and desert washes from the southwestern United States south through Mexico to Guatemala.
How to spot
Look in dense, thorny scrub and riparian thickets in arid regions. They are often shy and elusive, remaining hidden in dense cover. Listen for their distinctive, high-pitched, somewhat buzzy song.
When to spot
Resident in most of its Mexican range; migratory in the northern parts, present during breeding season (May-August). Observable year-round in its resident regions. Best observed in the early morning.
