Varied Bunting

The Varied Bunting is unevenly distributed and inconspicuous, so very little is known about it.
Eggs are polymorphic in color among populations, a rare phenomenon in passerine birds.
They spend most of their time concealed in dense desert brush, coming into view only when the male sings from the top of a bush.
A group of buntings are collectively known as a "decoration", "mural", and "sacrifice" of buntings.
