Useful Hints
- The female Indigo Bunting builds the nest alone—a process that takes up to 8 days early in the season and as little as 2 days later in the summer.
- She locates the nest in a crotch or fork where branches meet, amid a supporting network of vertical and diagonal twigs.
- The nest cup is about 1.5 inches deep inside, with an outside diameter of 3 inches and an inside diameter of 2 inches.
