The Eastern Bluebird is a beloved North American thrush, with males featuring brilliant sky-blue upperparts, a rufous breast, and a white belly. Females are paler but still attractive.

How to spot
Its distinct blue, rufous, and white plumage is unmistakable. Look for them perched on wires or fences in open fields. Listen for their soft, warbling song.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Best observed during spring and summer in breeding grounds. Some populations migrate south for winter.

Eastern Bluebirds are cavity nesters and readily use artificial nest boxes, which has significantly aided their population recovery after past declines.
