Mountain Bluebird

Sialia currucoides

The Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides) is a small thrush species found in open country across western North America. Males are a brilliant sky-blue, while females are paler blue with a grayish wash. These birds are known for their melodious, warbling song and are often seen perched on fence posts or wires. They primarily feed on insects and berries, and are known for their habit of hovering while foraging. Mountain Bluebirds nest in natural cavities or man-made nest boxes, and are known for their gentle and peaceful nature. They are a symbol of happiness and hope in many Native American cultures.

Habitat: Open country, grasslands, meadows, and mountainous areas
