Eastern Bluebird

Description:

The jewel-like blues of these birds popped against the drab winter woods. They were very busy flittering around, and did not seem to notice the pair of hawks (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/144...) that were watching them intently.

Habitat:

Eastern Bluebirds live in meadows and openings surrounded by trees that offer suitable nest holes. With the proliferation of nest boxes and bluebird trails, bluebirds are now a common sight along roads, field edges, golf courses, and other open areas. Found in open woodlands, farmlands and orchards, and most recently can be spotted in suburban areas.

Notes:

Spotted near an uncultivated area next to a mining operation in Kennesaw, GA
