Eastern Bluebird

Sialia sialis

Description:

The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush with a big, rounded head, large eye, plump body, and alert posture. The wings are long, but the tail and legs are fairly short. The bill is short and straight. Male Eastern Bluebirds are vivid, deep blue above and rusty or brick-red on the throat and breast. Blue in birds always depends on the light, and males often look plain gray-brown from a distance. Females are grayish above with bluish wings and tail, and a subdued orange-brown breast.

Habitat:

Wildlife habitat yard.

Notes:

Not having seen bluebirds around my yard in years, I was lucky enough to have some visit several times in the same day.
