Eastern Bluebird
Sialia sialis
An adult Eastern Bluebird lives in open woods, orchards, meadows, and pastures with scattered trees or nest boxes. It hunts insects by dropping from low perches and also eats berries, especially outside the breeding season. Adults defend cavity nest sites with calls, wing displays, and quick aerial chases. Males are noted for bright blue upperparts and a rusty-orange breast, while females are duller but similarly patterned.
