The Eastern Bluebirds breed in every state
east of the Rocky Mountains. The Eastern Bluebirds head, back,
wings, and tail are bright blue. His throat, breast and sides
are rusty and the belly is white.
Bluebirds are mostly
insectivores eating insects like grasshoppers, cutworms and
flying insects. They also eat berries in the fall and
wintertime.
Bluebirds are very
enjoyable to watch and listen to. During the spring courtship it
is so fun to watch the male bluebird devoting all his energy
luring a female with his song. He will sing and sing while the
female sits passively by enjoying his passionate effort.
To assist the bluebird
we need to provide suitable habitats, winter roosts and keep a
good food supply available for them using bluebird feeders.
