Eastern Bluebird

The Eastern Bluebird’s Latin name is Sialia sialis. They are found east of the Rocky Mountains, southern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and southeastern Arizona to Nicaragua. An Eastern Bluebird nest will most likely be found in open country, pine savannas, ponds, open woodlands, and forest openings. These areas are the preferred Eastern Bluebird habitat. You are most likely to find Eastern Bluebird eggs and baby Eastern Bluebird during the breeding months between spring and summer. They all migrate together and winter in the south.

The Eastern Bluebird’s population status is of least concern. They can be found at Coal Creek Farm year round. What do Eastern Bluebirds eat? Their diet consists of caterpillars, beetles, crickets, grasshopper, spiders, blueberries, black cherries, mistletoe, wild holly, salamanders, snakes, lizards, and frogs. The Eastern Bluebird is the state bird of New York and Missouri. The Eastern Bluebird song (or Eastern Bluebird call) is a fairly low-pitched, warbling song made up of several phrases, each consisting of 1-3 notes.
