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.
