Species: Lazuli Bunting
Most recent capture date: 5/2/21
Sex: Male
Age: at least 2 years old
​
​Notes: This species is somewhat unusual for us, and a flashy older male like this is a real treat. His blue feather color comes, not from pigment, but from the structure of the feathers themselves, similar to the iridescence in a hummingbird’s gorget.
