The Western Bluebird is a charming thrush of western North America, with males boasting vibrant blue on the head, back, and wings, and a rufous breast with a blue patch on the flanks. Females are duller.
Where to spot
Found in western North America, from southwestern Canada to Mexico, inhabiting open woodlands, Ponderosa pine forests, agricultural areas, and suburban parks.
How to spot
Look for its vibrant blue, rufous, and white pattern, noting the blue on the flanks differentiating it from Eastern Bluebird. Scan open, wooded areas for birds perched on branches or fences.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Resident in many areas, but some populations migrate short distances for winter.

During winter, Western Bluebirds often form large communal roosts, sometimes consisting of hundreds of individuals, to conserve warmth during cold nights.
