4-5, sometimes 3-7. Pale blue, unmarked; sometimes white. Incubation is mostly by female, about 13-16 days. Young: Both parents bring food to the nestlings, and young from a previous brood also help to feed them in some cases. Young leave the nest at about 18-19 days on average. 2 broods per year, sometimes 3.
As a courtship display, male may sing and flutter in front of the female with his wings and tail partly spread. While perched close together, pairs may preen each other's feathers; male may feed female. Nest: Placed in cavity, typically in natural hollow in tree, in old woodpecker hole, or in birdhouse. Usually nests fairly low (2-20' above the ground), occasionally up to 50'. Nest in cavity (built mostly by female) is a loosely constructed cup of weeds, twigs, and dry grass, lined with finer grass, sometimes with animal hair or feathers.

Spurred on by the high demand for the Bluebird Cafe, they decided to introduce a new outdoor music experience: Bluebird Bands. Partnering again with the Bluebird Cafe, the resort looks forward to bringing some of its best bands to the Sundance stage. Unlike their other Bluebird Cafe shows that are traditionally acoustic, Bluebird Bands will feature full bands who will put on complete plugged-in concert experiences.
Liz is the name of a lonely girl who only makes a living by selling bread at a bakery. After a mighty thunderstorm strikes, she goes outside and finds a blue-haired (unnamed) girl lying on the grass. The two instantly become close friends for a long time. However, after a while, Liz decides to let go of the girl so she can be free to do whatever with herself. The flute and oboe duet in the third movement are said to represent Liz and the blue bird.

The sighting of a bluebird has brought joy and delight to people for thousands of years, with many cultures adopting this clear-sky-jacketed member of the thrush family as an emblem of new beginnings and a chance at happiness. In the United States, this songbird even has a whole day dedicated to it.
There is evidence that bluebirds were revered in Ancient China, and more recently, bluebirds feature in stories, songs and art throughout Native American, Canadian, and European folklore.
Many historians link the phrase bluebird of happiness to this play, despite those words never actually being said in the text; but bluebirds are so admired throughout the world across the ages that the phrase could well have originated anywhere.
All of these examples of bluebirds in literature and song have helped cement the iconography of this stunning and easily spotted bird, and now, on September 24th every year, people across the US and in other parts of the world celebrate Bluebird of Happiness Day.
Insectivorous birds, gardeners absolutely love them. These popular birds experienced a severe decline in their numbers during the 1970s, with estimates claiming more than 70% losses due to competition of nesting sites with house sparrows and starlings, both introduced species, combined with the all-pervading loss of habitat.
These double pressures looked gloomy for the birds, but due to the sheer love that people have for these medium-sized songbirds, their numbers began to creep up in the late 1990s, and in 2005, birders reported bluebird numerous sightings across the southern US as part of its Backyard Bird Count, a fantastic indication that they were on the up.
I picked up the Animator at the end of our Duck Season and normally by this time the birds become decoy and motion decoy Shy. I put out the animator and to my surprise, it brought in the ducks. Highly recommend the Animator in your Hunting Tool Box
At the crack of dawn, especially in areas where bluebirds are concentrated, males sing an excited song series that includes lots of sharp, staccato chit calls given before songs, and often delivered in a chattering group of two or three. Males may even sing in flight as they move from perch to perch. The above featured recording provides a typical example, recorded at the edge of a meadow in Kentucky.
When pairs are nesting, they often exchange calls as they interact. These include sweet whistles, typical song-phrases, and other sounds. Below is an intimate and revealing recording that I made of a pair interacting in the vicinity of their nest in a meadow in upstate New York:
Nobody is certain about dawn song, but probably has to do with a burst of energy and aggression in the twilight of dawn, before there is enough light to go looking for food. A number of birds have special dawn songs. Especially flycatchers, sparrows, and warblers. Among the thrushes, the Eastern and Western Bluebirds have dawn songs (the Western sings in flight) and the American Robin also sings a special pattern at dawn.
In this article, I review some of the song-type variations and seasonality of bluebird vocalizations. Eastern bluebirds are more vocal before and early in the breeding season, and their songs and calls vary depending on the type of interactions and even the time of day. If you enjoy listening to Eastern bluebird songs and calls and would like to understand when they sing and why their songs and calls vary, this note is for you.
Typically only the male eastern bluebird sings a diverse array of song types. Females do not usually sing but can give a primary song type, usually when they are in the company of a male or during specific interactions with other bluebirds. Female bluebirds also use the primary song as a means to warn others about the presence of predators.
Bluebirds use loud and soft songs under different circumstances. Loud songs are intended to communicate some type of message to bluebirds at longer distances. The soft song type can be thought of as a whispering chatter typically used when the male and female are in close proximity.
Ornithologists who studied bluebird songs found that most vocalizations (64%) given by a male eastern bluebird are soft. Humans do not hear soft vocalizations unless they are close to the singing bird.
A smaller number (21%) of the vocalizations are of the loud type and can be readily heard by humans. The remaining vocalizations (15%) can be considered intermediate and would be heard if one is within a reasonable distance from the singing bird.
Eastern bluebirds are most vocal early in the nesting season. Males are most vocally active during the pair formation and egg-laying periods, which correspond from March through July. This is the period when males advertise their presence and show their singing prowess to prospective females. During this period, males sang more frequently and, louder, faster, and included a wide variety of song types in their repertoire.
There is a remarkable decline in male vocalization during the incubation, nestling, and post-fledging periods. Males vocalize less frequently and give fewer song types, softer, and at a slower cadence. Bluebirds sing even less after the breeding season.
Frequent vocalizations at distances of 10 m or longer may be intended for the male to keep track of the female without her wandering. While the mated pair is next to each other, Vocalization may be more of a conversational whispering. The least frequent amount of vocalizations when birds are within 5-10 m of each other may be explained by the fact that birds are close enough to keep visual contact, and there is no need to communicate with sounds.
Male and female bluebirds give many different calls associated with interactions between adults, nestling, or fledglings. Adults and nestlings give screeches, chatters, squawks, peeps, and warbles, upon re-encountering, meeting at a perch, entering or leaving the nesting cavity, and warning each other about the presence of competing bluebirds or a predator.
Eastern bluebirds make bill snapping sounds, which appear to be linked to circumstances of stress, namely the presence of a predator. Bluebirds use bill snapping in an attempt to discourage predators from approaching the nesting site. Bluebirds use the same snapping technique when humans approach an occupied nesting box.
Eastern bluebirds have a diverse repertoire of songs that they accumulate with age. Eastern bluebirds are most vocal during the pair formation and egg-laying periods. Here is when males sing loud songs, more complex, and more frequently to advertise their presence to females.
Bluebirds have loud and soft song types. Loud song types are given by the male while foraging and during activities where some distance separates the male and female. The soft songs are whispering chats that are given when the female is next to the male. Eastern bluebirds have a variety of calls they use during specific interactions and circumstances.
