A beautiful blue bird with silvery bill and chestnut wingbars, the Blue Grosbeak is an uncommon bird of shrubby habitats across the southern United States.
Song is a long continuous musical warble, similar to that of Indigo Bunting but without paired phrases. Call is a low buzzy "bzzt" or a loud metallic "tink."
