Mountain Bluebird
Sialia currucoides
Mountain Bluebirds inhabit open country of western North America, including sagebrush plains, mountain meadows, grasslands, and lightly wooded edges. They feed mainly on insects caught by hovering and dropping to the ground, with berries becoming more important in colder months. They nest in cavities such as old woodpecker holes, nest boxes, or natural crevices. A notable feature is the male’s vivid sky-blue plumage, which is especially striking against dry, open habitats.
