Sialia sialis

Field Notes
Description:
Males have brilliant blue above with reddish breast and white below. Female is similar but less brilliant.
Habitat:
Open grasslands with scattered trees.
Notes:
Bluebirds were rare when I was growing up on a farm in southwestern Wisconsin in the 1960s and 70s. Their populations are doing much better now due to installation of thousands of nest boxes.
