Eastern Bluebird

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:

A pair has come to the garden and are sitting on the chimney, it the tops of the Hackberry trees and looking at the Bluebird nest box on the fence. This is my wildlife habitat garden.
