Information about the Eastern Bluebird:

The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush native to the open woodlands, farmland, orchards and urban and suburban areas. As the name implies, they inhabit the eastern part of North America, from the Rocky Mountains, from southern Canada down to the Gulf States and southeastern Arizona to Central America. The bird grows to be about 6.3–8.3 inches long (16–21 cm) with a wingspan of 9.8–13 in (25–32 cm) and weighs 0.95–1.2 oz (27–34 g.) Like many other songbirds, the coloration of the males is brighter and more striking than the females. They are omnivorous, feeding on small insects and other invertebrates like worms, crickets, snails, beetles and others, as well as some plant matter like wild fruits. They are very social birds, sometimes gathering in flocks of over 100 individuals. In the wild Eastern Bluebirds live to be about 6-10 years old, but many do not make it past their first year.
