Indigo Bunting Song & Call: Learn their TWO most common sounds
In this video, you are going to learn the TWO most common sounds you will hear from the beautiful Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea)!
Please make sure to "like" this ID video and SUBSCRIBE to @BirdWatchingHQ Check out the LIVE bird and animal cameras streaming from my backyard.
00:12
Sound #1: "what, what, where, where, see it, see it"
During spring and summer, you will hear this lively, high-pitched song. It lasts 2 to 4 seconds and is typically repeated twice.
00:24
The song is made up of double phrases, which sound like "what, what, where, where, see it, see it." The exact tune varies from location to location, but the song almost always follows this pattern.
00:38
This song is ONLY sung by males. It’s used to attract females and mark territory.
Females are much harder to see, as they stay hidden in thickets, taking care of the young. They also look completely different!
00:58
The best place to find Indigo Buntings is in shrubby, open areas in eastern North America, where they are quite common. Look for them singing perched on trees or bushes.
01:11
Sound #2: Contact call
Indigo Bunting’s also make a short contact call.
It’s a one-syllable “chip” or “spit” sound.
Have you heard or seen an Indigo Bunting before? If so, where do you live and what type of habitat was it?

I recorded these sounds in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

    Strafford, New Hampshire. NH is almost entirely woods and water. We live near Bow Lake, and I work from home. Nearly every morning, around the same time, I hear the red-shouldered hawk's cry as it patrols the woods we live in. Love it! In the evening it's the barred owl pair calling to each other while they hunt across the hill.

    I am hearing these sounds outside my door here in mid-Nebraska! Reminds me of the song "Wings of a Dove!" On the wings of a snow white dove He sends his pure sweet love A sign from above On the wings of a dove When troubles surround us, when evils come The body grows weak, the spirit grows numb When these things beset us, he doesn't forget us He sends down his love On the wings of a dove

  • @ababbit7461
    @ababbit7461 Před 3 dny

    If you feed the wild animals, you have a responsibility to help them be protected. Put a wire mess above the feeder so the hawks can not swoop down on the squirrels. Also other birds will be picked off by hawks. Just a canopy over the feeder will help the unsuspecting.

    The doves, they are so quiet, so one one all of a sudden makes that wing noise, it scares the absolute crap out of me (lol). I can't see them, sometimes, and that sudden sound combined with rapid movement just instinctually makes me jump if I'm not aware of their presence.

    I just heard this adorable little thing tonight! I was down near the back end of the property. It was pretty dark. I started to hear a VERY faint, descending trill. Just like sound #2: The Whinny in the video. It really wasn't loud at all! I was surprised to see 3 tiny owls perched up in the tree right above me. They we spread out from one another, but the closest was only about 5 feet above my head. They were all making this call back and forth with the others. Very, very softly. It was beautiful.

  • @DarrenUnderwood-vr8pi

    I have a nesting pair in my backyard with noisy juveniles included. I had difficulty identifying them as I assumed they were red tailed hawks but I saw no red tail. Identification of their cry was very helpful. I'm in a small town in North East Kansas

    We live on 7 acres in a rural area outside of Modesto, so there are surrounding groves of Almond and Walnut Trees. We have plenty of tall trees on our property. We used to have a large nest up in one of our tallest trees that resembled an Eagle's nest that now has fallen down a few Winters ago. A couple of Springs ago, I saw a pair of Hawks flying around our yard. Once I saw a large bird walking around our front yard. I slowly approached. It tried to hobble away, so it may have been injured. After 1 or 2 hours, it flapped its wings and was able to perch itself on a small 7 or 8 foot Crabapple Tree. It sat there for a long time, before it flew off again to land on our mobile Baskeball Hoop. After a few more hours it was able to fly off for good! I have seen anymore hawks, but we do hear some Chirps! I hope they return! We have some Gophers and Squirrels I'd like to get rid of!
