The Eastern Bluebird, known as the Bluebird of Happiness or Blue Bird of Happiness,
is an endearing insectivorous cavity nester whose range is
spreading northward with the popularity of man-made nesting boxes. The
bird depends on such boxes, as its natural nesting spots (tree cavities)
have been taken over by over-abundant introduced species such as the house
sparrow and European starlings.
The Bluebird's naturally nest in
tree cavities. A favorite spot is one already made by woodpeckers. The
removal of dead trees, fallen tree limbs, aged and diseased trees have
contributed to serious Bluebird population declines. Other new bird
neighbors such as the European Starling and the House Sparrow, has helped
to lessen the population of the Bluebird. In some areas, Bluebirds are
increasing in some areas as the number of natural nesting sites and bird
houses and boxes have become more plentiful. Bluebirds often nest where
other Bluebirds have already settled.
Bluebirds are members of the small thrush family, approximately seven inches in length with short black bills and
tan/chestnut
breasts, throats, and flanks. The tan/chestnut coloring on the throat extends to
both
sides of the neck. Their little bellies and under-tail areas are white. Males are
deep blue on the head, back, wings, and tail. Females have muted gray-blue
tops with a light gray-brown coloring on the back. Bluebirds have a thin, white eye
ring. The Bluebird's wings and tail are clouded with dull blue. The female
Bluebird's orange underparts are more muted than those of the male
Bluebird.
