The #BirdOfTheDay theme for Saturday is #blue, any bird with blue in its coloring.

We're hoping the Lazuli Buntings (Passerina amoena) will stop by again this spring. Last year, they were here for a couple of weeks.

This Corn Bunting (Emberiza calandra) wasn't too happy I didn't give it time to clean the dirt off its beak before I took its picture. "Just look at me.. I'm a mess!" 😂 #BirdingHungary #buntings

A male painted bunting shows off all of its vibrant colors with an over-the-shoulder glance. The bird has a bright blue head, lime green back over green wings, with a red-orange strip of feather down its back. Its eye is set off with a red ring.

🌏 Black-faced Bunting (Emberiza spodocephala) The Black-faced Bunting is a small bird with a striking grey-black head contrasting with a bright yellow belly in breeding males. It's a migratory bird, native to Asia, breeding across eastern Siberia, northern China, and Japan, and migrating to winter in Southeast Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. These buntings are often seen in small, mixed-species flocks. Their vocalizations are very short, metallic, high-pitched notes. No subspecies are generally recognised. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: The bird's common name comes from the bold black markings on its face that can give it a "masked" appearance, particularly in males. 📷: Photo by bitnikgao via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-animal-branch-beak-plumage-9360034/ BXFT

The big boy of the bunting world... Corn Bunting (Emberiza calandra) (I wonder if the Calandra Lark resents another bird using its name 😂 ). A bird of the open plains and farmland. Can be found all year round in Hungary, but a lot more around in the summer. #BirdingHungary #buntings #buntinghunting

Small bird with large conical beak, white streaky belly, warm brown head, back, and wings, with blue highlights in wings and tail

Surrounded by dark green background and bright yellow-green leaves on the branch which it perches on, a beautiful bird appears centered in the photo, its left side facing the camera. Its head is a magnificent bright blue which fades to dark blue-gray and stripes of white on its wings. A hint of blue peeks through at the top of its tail feathers. Its breast shows a flash of orange which fades to white on its belly.

Arguably another one of Oregon's most beautiful birds, the Lazuli bunting

Pine Bunting is pleasantly numerous in #Mongolia.

I can't find any account of it being parasitized by Common Cuckoo, but one of the male #buntings became very agitated towards the #cuckoo.
