Best View Larger Featured in #12 Great Features – Challenge Themes ONLY group. / Featured in Rural Around The Globe group. / Featured in Songbirds of North America 2 a Day / group. This was taken in my backyard when I first purchased my camera. They are one of my favorite birds besides the hummingbird. Taken in the village of Orwell Hill, PA on 05-11-2007. Cool Facts / The male Eastern Bluebird displays at his nest cavity to attract a female. He brings nest material to the hole, goes in and out, and waves his wings while perched above it. That is pretty much his contribution to nest building; only the female Eastern Bluebird builds the nest and incubates the eggs. / Eastern Bluebirds typically have more than one successful brood per year. Young produced in early nests usually leave their parents in summer, but young from later nests frequently stay with their parents over the winter. / Eastern Bluebirds occur across eastern North America and south as far as Nicaragua. Birds that live farther north and in the west of the range tend to lay more eggs than eastern and southern birds. / Eastern Bluebirds eat mostly insects, wild fruit and berries. Occasionally, Eastern Bluebirds have also been observed capturing and eating larger prey items such as shrews, salamanders, snakes, lizards and tree frogs. / The oldest recorded Eastern Bluebird was 10 years 5 months old. / Habitat GrasslandEastern Bluebirds live in open country around trees, but with little understory and sparse ground cover. Original habitats probably included open, frequently burned pine savannas, beaver ponds, mature but open woods, and forest openings. Today, they’re most common along pastures, agricultural fields, suburban parks, backyards, and golf courses. Back to TopFood InsectsInsects caught on the ground are a bluebird’s main food for much of the year. Major prey include caterpillars, beetles crickets, grasshoppers, and spiders. In fall and winter, bluebirds eat large amounts of fruit including mistletoe, sumac, blueberries, black cherry, tupelo, currants, wild holly, dogwood berries, hackberries, honeysuckle, bay, pokeweed, and juniper berries. Rarely, Eastern Bluebirds have been recorded eating salamanders, shrews, snakes, lizards, and tree frogs.

She makes the nest by loosely weaving together grasses and pine needles, then lining it with fine grasses and occasionally horse hair or turkey feathers. Nest boxes in some places are so common that a single territory may contain several suitable holes. Females often build nests in each available hole, but typically only use one of these. Bluebirds may use the same nest for multiple broods. Nest Placement CavityEastern Bluebirds put their nests in natural cavities or in nest boxes or other artificial refuges. Among available natural cavities, bluebirds typically select old woodpecker holes in dead pine or oak trees, up to 50 feet off the ground. Older bluebirds are more likely than younger ones to nest in a nest box, although individual birds often switch their preferences between nesting attempts. When given the choice in one study, bluebirds seemed to prefer snugger nest boxes (4 inches square instead of 6 inches square on the bottom) with slightly larger entrance holes (1.75 inch rather than 1.4 inch diameter). © René Corado / WFVZ © René Corado / WFVZ / Back to TopBehavior Ground ForagerThis small, brightly colored thrush typically perches on wires and fence posts overlooking open fields. The birds forage by fluttering to the ground to grab an insect, or occasionally by catching an insect in midair. Bluebirds can sight their tiny prey items from 60 feet or more away. They fly fairly low to the ground, and with a fast but irregular pattern to their wingbeats. Males vying over territories chase each other at high speed, sometimes grappling with their feet, pulling at feathers with their beaks, and hitting with their wings. The boxes and tree cavities where bluebirds nest are a hot commodity among birds that require holes for nesting, and male bluebirds will attack other species they deem a threat, including House Sparrows, European Starlings, Tree Swallows, Great Crested Flycatchers, Carolina Chickadees, and Brown-headed Nuthatches, as well as non-cavity nesters such as robins, Blue Jays, mockingbirds, and cowbirds. Males attract females to the nest with a display in which he carries bits of nesting material into and out of the nest. Once a female enters the nest hole with him, the pair bond is typically established and often remains intact for several seasons (although studies suggest that around one in every four or five eggs involves a parent from outside the pair). Back to TopConservation / status via IUCN / Least ConcernBluebird populations fell in the early twentieth century as aggressive introduced species such as European Starlings and House Sparrows made available nest holes increasingly difficult for bluebirds to hold on to. In the 1960s and 1970s establishment of bluebird trails and other nest box campaigns alleviated much of this competition, especially after people began using nest boxes designed to keep out the larger European Starling. Eastern Bluebird numbers have been recovering since. Back to TopCredits / Gowaty, Patricia Adair and Jonathan H. Plissner. 1998.

6/13/09 ~ Featured in Backyard Photography and top ten in the “Birdhouses” challenge ~ Thank you!!!!! / . / I was so pleased to see a little Wren moved into the birdhouse in my garden. For the past several years I never saw any activity. I was disappointed this week because our local bear ripped apart one of my birdhouses where a Chickadee family was living, and I’m hoping he stays away from the Wren Residence! Taken 5/31/09, Clarks Valley, PA / . Update – the local bear destroyed my Wren’s birdhouse on 6/6/09 and the nest is gone!!!! :( / . / NEW RESIDENT /

Tufted titmice, house finches, Carolina chickadees, and cardinals visit my patio feeders regularly and they all love my statue of Jesus where they find a resting place in their busy little lives. This is the bird version of the Garden of Eden with flowers which I posted earlier. Thanks to all the flower lovers who commented about that collage; I appreciate it and am offering this one for bird lovers.

It’s not often I can get a photo of a tufted titmouse; these little spitfires are so fast, they’re gone by the time I adjust the camera. This one was a bit more leisurely, though, and gave me a split second to nab him. Got you Mr. T squared! (I got the idea for the title from my daughter in law Chrissy who calls me Mrs. B Squared (Bonnie Barry); she’s an engineer and thinks mathematically; I’m an English major and numbers are not my strength).

The Eastern bluebirds are amazing me this mating season. They are into nest number FOUR! They usually have three a season, but one of their broods met with foul play so I suppose they’re making up for it with an extra long summer of child rearing! The middle of August is extremely hot in southern Louisiana, so these little troopers are really looking ragged from all the hunting and delivering of goods to the nesting box. Here’s one of the pair, I think the female, with a grub worm for the nestlings. For some reason, their plumage is not as brilliant as in years past so it’s kind of hard to tell the male from the female as they are both looking pretty washed out! Can’t blame them with all that flurry of activity in this hot, humid climate. Eastern bluebird is officially sialia sialis; they are cavity dwellers. Their numbers were dangerously reduced due to clearing of woods and thickets for development. Thanks to the American Bluebird Society and the introduction of nesting boxes, they have made a wonderful comeback. The bluebirds have been nesting in my yard for over ten years now, and I love them dearly. They make excellent neighbors! They first started in a box well away from my house, but they have taken a liking to one right on my patio, so our encounters are frequent and close-up!

Going Down
by BigDBest View Larger! Featured in First Things group. / Featured in ImageWriting group. / Featured in 300+ Go Long! group. Taken in my backyard at the feeder. There was at least 20 bluejays feeding at the feeder and there was at least 30 mourning doves on the ground feeding as well. Even a gray squirrel was feeding there too. Canon 50D / Canon 400mm lens / Shutter Speed 1/750sec / Aperture-f-5.6 / ISO 400 Cool Facts / Thousands of Blue Jays migrate in flocks along the Great Lakes and Atlantic coasts, but much about their migration remains a mystery. Some are present throughout winter in all parts of their range. Young jays may be more likely to migrate than adults, but many adults also migrate. Some individual jays migrate south one year, stay north the next winter, and then migrate south again the next year. No one has worked out why they migrate when they do. / Blue Jays are known to take and eat eggs and nestlings of other birds, but we don’t know how common this is. In an extensive study of Blue Jay feeding habits, only 1% of jays had evidence of eggs or birds in their stomachs. Most of their diet was composed of insects and nuts. / The Blue Jay frequently mimics the calls of hawks, especially the Red-shouldered Hawk. These calls may provide information to other jays that a hawk is around, or may be used to deceive other species into believing a hawk is present. / Tool use has never been reported for wild Blue Jays, but captive Blue Jays used strips of newspaper to rake in food pellets from outside their cages. / Blue Jays lower their crests when they are feeding peacefully with family and flock members or tending to nestlings. / At feeders in Florida, Red-headed Woodpeckers, Florida Scrub-Jays, Common Grackles, and gray squirrels strongly dominate Blue Jays, often preventing them from obtaining food. / The pigment in Blue Jay feathers is melanin, which is brown. The blue color is caused by scattering light through modified cells on the surface of the feather barbs. / The black bridle across the face, nape, and throat varies extensively and may help Blue Jays recognize one another. / The oldest known wild, banded Blue Jay lived to be at least 17 years 6 months old. / Habitat ForestBlue Jays are found in all kinds of forests but especially near oak trees; they’re more abundant near forest edges than in deep forest. They’re common in urban and suburban areas, especially where oaks or bird feeders are found. Back to TopFood OmnivoreBlue Jays glean insects and take nuts and seeds in trees, shrubs, and on the ground; they also eat grains. They also take dead and injured small vertebrates. Blue Jays sometimes raid nests for eggs and nestlings, and sometimes pick up dead or dying adult birds. Stomach contents over the year are about 22 percent insect. Acorns, nuts, fruits, and grains made up almost the entire remainder. Of 530 stomachs examined, traces of bird eggs and nestlings were found in only 6 stomachs, although a search was specially made for every possible trace of bird remains. Blue Jays hold food items in feet while pecking them open. They store food in caches to eat later. Back to TopNesting / Nesting Facts / Clutch Size / 2–7 eggs / Egg Length / 1–1.3 in / 2.5–3.3 cm / Egg Width / 0.7–0.9 in / 1.8–2.2 cm / Incubation Period / 17–18 days / Nestling Period / 17–21 days / Egg Description / Bluish or light brown with brownish spots. / Condition at Hatching / Naked and helpless, eyes closed, mouth lining red.Nest Description / Open cup of twigs, grass, and sometimes mud, lined with rootlets. Nest Placement TreeBlue Jays build their nests in the crotch or thick outer branches of a deciduous or coniferous tree, usually 10-25 feet above the ground. Male and female both gather materials and build the nest, but on average male does more gathering and female more building. Twigs used in outer part of nest are usually taken from live trees, and birds often struggle to break them off. Birds may fly great distances to obtain rootlets from recently dug ditches, fresh graves in cemeteries, and newly fallen trees. Jays may abandon their nest after detecting a nearby predator. © Isidor Jeklin / CLO / Back to TopBehavior Ground ForagerThis common, large songbird is familiar to many people, with its perky crest; blue, white, gray, and black plumage; and noisy calls. Blue Jays are known for their intelligence and complex social systems, and have tight family bonds. They often mate for life, remaining with their social mate throughout the year. Only the female incubates; her mate provides all her food during incubation. For the first 8–12 days after the nestlings hatch, the female broods them and the male provides food for his mate and the nestlings. Female shares food gathering after this time, but male continues to provide more food than female. Some individual nestlings begin to wander as far as 15 feet from the nest 1-3 days before the brood fledges. Even when these birds beg loudly, parents may not feed them until they return to the nest; this is the stage at which many people find an “abandoned baby jay.” If it can be restored to or near the nest, the parents will resume feeding it. The brood usually leaves the nest together usually when they are 17-21 days old. When young jays leave the nest before then, it may be because of disturbance. The jays are usually farther than 75 feet from the nest by the end of the second day out of the nest. Young remain with and are fed by their parents for at least a month, and sometimes two months. There is apparently a lot of individual variation in how quickly young become independent. Blue Jays communicate with one another both vocally and with “body language,” using their crest. When incubating, feeding nestlings, or associating with mate, family, or flock mates, the crest is held down; the lower the crest, the lower the bird’s aggression level. The higher the crest, the higher the bird’s aggression level; when a Blue Jay squawks, the crest is virtually always held up. Blue Jays have a wide variety of vocalizations, with an immense “vocabulary.” Blue Jays are also excellent mimics. Captive Blue Jays sometimes learn to imitate human speech and meowing cats. In the wild, they often mimic Red-shouldered and Red-tailed hawks, and sometimes other species. Blue Jays are disliked by many people for their aggressive ways, but they are far less aggressive than many other species. In one Florida study, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Red-headed Woodpeckers, Florida Scrub-Jays, Common Grackles, and gray squirrels strongly dominates Blue Jays at feeders, often preventing them from obtaining food, and Northern Bobwhites, Mourning Doves, White-winged Doves, Northern Mockingbirds, and Northern Cardinals occasionally dominated them as well. Sometimes Blue Jays mimic hawks when approaching feeders. This may deceive other birds into scattering, allowing the Blue Jay to take over the feeder, but most birds quickly return after the jay starts feeding. Blue Jays carry food in their throat and upper esophagus—an area often called a “gular pouch.” They may store 2-3 acorns in the pouch, another one in their mouth, and one more in the tip of the bill. In this way they can carry off 5 acorns at a time to store for later feeding. Six birds with radio transmitters each cached 3,000-5,000 acorns one autumn. Their fondness for acorns and their accuracy in selecting and burying acorns that have not been infested with weevils are credited with spreading oak trees after the last glacial period. Despite being common, conspicuous birds that have been studied by many researchers, much about Blue Jays remains a mystery. This is the only New World jay that migrates north and south, and large flocks are observed flying over many hawkwatch spots, along shorelines, and at other migration overlooks, but their migration is very poorly understood. Some individuals remain year-round throughout their entire range, and at least some individuals depart during spring throughout their entire range except peninsular Florida. Migrating flocks can include adults and young birds, and recent analyses of movements of banded jays indicate that there is no age difference between jays that migrate and jays that remain resident. The proportion of jays that migrate is probably less than 20 percent. Back to TopConservation / status via IUCN / Least ConcernBlue Jays do well around humans, and their populations are secure.

House sparrow has large black spot on his throat extending down to the chest, a brown back and single white wing bars, gray belly and crown. The female is slightly smaller than the male and lacks the black spot on the throat and single wing bars. The male and female both build the nest which is a domed cut nest and they produce two to three broods per year, laying 4-6 eggs which are white with brown marking. The incubation period is 10-12 days with the female incubating. The house sparrow is a non-migrating bird but will move around to find food. Their food consists of seed, insects and fruit, they will come to the feeder to eat seed. The sparrow was introduced from Europe to Central Park in New York City in 1850. /
