Eastern Bluebird

Description:

This lovely male bluebird is perching on top of a nest box near the Lake Allatoona Visitor's Center. Bluebirds nest in tree cavities and will happily use nest boxes. They can raise up to three broods in a season. On this day, we also so a female emerge from the nest box, so even though it was late in the season, it is possibly there were eggs or young inside as well.

Habitat:

Eastern Bluebirds live in meadows and openings surrounded by trees that offer suitable nest holes.
