The Eastern Bluebird

Fascinating facts about the Eastern Bluebird

*If you have nest boxes, you may have seen this local bird perched atop, and they
are often found sitting on telephone wires. They also reside in Woodpecker holes
in trees. They like open meadows and golf courses too. You could consider
putting up a nest box to attract a breeding pair!

*Eastern Bluebirds typically have more than one successful brood per year. Young
produced in early nests usually leave their parents in summer, but young from
later nests frequently stay with their parents over the winter.

*Eastern Bluebirds eat mostly insects, wild fruit and berries. Occasionally,
Eastern Bluebirds have also been observed capturing and eating larger prey
items such as shrews, salamanders, snakes, lizards and tree frogs.

*The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush with a big, rounded head, large eye,
plump body, and alert posture
