Distribution: In recent years, the number Indigo Buntings has been expanding. The contributing factor is that more older farmlands are being abandoned, the logging of forests and construction of highways and railways. This bunting is found from southern Manitoba to Nova Scotia, throughout the western central states to Florida. In the non-breeding months, it lives in southern Florida and southeastern Texas, Mexico, Central America and on the Caribbean islands.
