I am so happy to see the bluebirds!! I have never had them hang around! I have spotted them but they weren't frequent flyers! The eastern bluebird is such a pretty blue color! Below are some facts about our feathered friend!
Migration & Range Maps
Permanent resident in many southern areas. In the north, arrives quite early in spring, and lingers late in fall.
Sexes similar — Length: 6–8 in (15–20 cm); wingspan: 10–13 in (25–33 cm); weight: 1.0–1.1 oz (28–31 g). The male Eastern Bluebird is bright blue above, reddish brown on the throat and chest, and its belly is white. Females are paler and duller than males. The juvenile is heavily spotted and has telltale traces of blue above.
Habitat
Open country with scattered trees; farms, roadsides. Breeds in many kinds of semi-open habitats, including cut-over or burned areas, forest clearings, farm country, open pine woods; locally in suburbs where there are extensive lawns and good nest sites. Wanders to other habitats in winter.
