Lazuli Bunting Songs

Named after a blue gemstone, lapis lazuli, the male Lazuli Bunting glows as brightly as its eponymous jewel. Its species name, amoena, which means “lovely” in Latin, is another nod to this bright little bird’s appearance. It’s a close relative to the equally eye-catching Painted Bunting, Varied Bunting, and Blue Grosbeak.
During its breeding season, a male Lazuli Bunting has bright cerulean-blue head and back (a lighter blue than that of the closely-related Indigo Bunting), white wing bars, a rusty breast, and white belly. Its color pattern may suggest an Eastern Bluebird’s, but its smaller size, wing bars, and short, conical bill quickly differentiate it. The female Lazuli Bunting is brownish-gray above with a warm buff breast and wing bars, set off by touches of blue on the wings, tail, and rump.
This bright bunting is also a top singer. How does each male make his own song unique?
