  • Males identify potential nest sites and try to attract prospective female mates to those nesting sites with special behaviors that include singing and flapping wings, and then placing some material in a nesting box or cavity.
  •  Bird species competing with bluebirds for nesting locations take over the nesting sites of bluebirds, killing young, smashing eggs, and even killing adult bluebirds.

  • Bluebirds are territorial and prefer open grassland with scattered trees. 
  • Range from the east of the Rocky Mountains, spanning from southern Canada to the Gulf states and on into Mexico and Honduras. 
  • Lives in open woodlands, roadsides, farmlands, orchards and occasionally suburbs and city parks.

  • Northern white-cedar germinates on a both mineral and organic soils, but seedling is limited to areas with a moisture supply
  • Seedling growth is slow
