INDIGO BUNTING 



The Indigo Bunting winters in Central America south to Panama, and 

 ranges in summer over the United States east of the Great Plains, and north 

 to southern Canada. It will be noted that the dates of spring arrival at the 

 mouth of the Mississippi river are decidedly earlier than at corresponding lati- 

 tudes in either Texas or Florida, showing conclusively that the early migrants 

 do not reach Louisiana by a land journey, from either the east or the west, 

 but by a direct flight across the Gulf of Mexico.
