Field Notes

Description:

Adult female, Blue on tail and lower wings, White belly and undertail, Orange throat, Body held upright. The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush with a big, rounded head, large eye, plump body, and alert posture. The wings are long, but the tail and legs are fairly short. The bill is short and straight. - Source Cornell Lab of Ornithology at http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/eastern_bluebird/id

Habitat:

Eastern USA.

Notes:

I saw 3 of these females flying past my window, then saw all three perch on different things in my front yard. One found the trellis netting comfy for a bit, one found the Shepard's Hook then tent/awning frame, while the third preferred the tent/awning frame then the ground. About 5 minutes later, the male bluebird showed up.
This is #3 female. She is flying away in a couple of the pictures. She liked the perch, then fed on the ground, then back to the perch.

Yes they are. I am putting up a bird bath and feeder this weekend, maybe a set in the front and back yards... I can't wait.
I studied birds a lot and they are so interesting to watch/photograph! Fascinating picture!
The pictures keep uploading out of order. Two are of her flying, two are her on the ground, and two are of her on the perch.
