Description
Eastern Bluebird
This beautiful bird is a favorite of many people and is eagerly awaited in the spring after a long winter. In places where bluebird nest boxes are erected and European Starlings and House Sparrows are controlled, up to six pairs of bluebirds will nest on as many acres. In the past 25 years bluebirds have become uncommon in the East for reasons not altogether clear. Competition for nest sites with European Starlings and House Sparrows is likely a critical factor. The erection of many artificial nest boxes in recent years seems to be helping to increase the population.
They will lay 4-6 pale blue eggs in a loose cup of grasses and plant stems in natural tree cavities, old woodpecker holes, fence posts, and bird boxes.

Dave, Visited your Animal Gallery and favorite and voted on all 32 images, but this one really stuck out Such remarkable details in this Bluebird the colors that you have captured are fantastic and the details of this Bluebird standing on the fence while you have a chance to pick up every color in his feathers is amazing. The clarity in this photo is great, I feel like I can reach out and grab the Bluebird. Great job at blurring out the background to give the viewer a great shot of this gorgeous Bluebird. Excellent photo, favorite, voted, tweet, google and FB promoted as part of the USA Artist News groups, pick an artist and support them

V#7, F, FbL. This is a gorgeous photo of this beautiful bird, and yes, I am one of those who awaits the bluebirds to come visit every Spring! Living in AZ was fun as many birds overwinter there, but, alas, I am back in the California foothills.
