The Western Bluebird is a small thrush of open woodland, meadows, and parkland with scattered trees. Adult males combine blue plumage with warm rusty areas, while females and juveniles are softer in color. It often watches from a low perch before dropping to the ground to catch insects, and also eats berries. Tree cavities and nest boxes provide nesting sites. Its upright posture and changes in plumage with age make perched photographs useful for comparing individuals.
