Eastern Bluebird

Eastern Bluebirds are small thrush-like birds with bright blue backs and wings, rusty or orange bellies, and white undersides. Male Bluebirds typically have brighter colors than females, with a reddish-brown throat. Eastern Bluebirds prefer open woodlands, orchards, farmlands, and suburban areas with open fields and scattered trees. They are cavity nesters, often utilizing abandoned woodpecker holes, natural tree cavities, or man-made nest boxes.

Their diet mainly consists of insects such as beetles, grasshoppers, and caterpillars, but they also eat fruits and berries, especially in the colder months when insects are scarce.
