Description
The Eastern bluebird is frequently seen perched on wire fences and low branches near open
fields where it watches with precise vision for insects up to 60 feet away. They feed mostly on
beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, and caterpillars in the summertime and fruits and berries in the
winter. The bright blue male chooses a nesting hole and attracts a female mate by making a
show of pulling nesting material in and out of the entrance. An interested female will take the
material and build a nest to lay three to seven small, pale blue eggs. Both parents usually feed
and raise the young, who often stay around the nest to help with another brood.
