Ecology & Habitat

Diagnostic Characteristics

See Kaufman (1992) for detailed information on identification of bluebirds.

Habitat

Subalpine meadows, grasslands, shrub-steppe, savanna, and pinyon-juniper woodland; in south usually at elevations above 1500 m. In winter and migration also inhabits desert, brushy areas and agricultural lands. Nests are built in natural tree cavities, or abandoned woodpecker holes. May also use bird box, old swallow's nest, rock crevice, or old mammal burrow. Tree Swallows, flickers, wrens, and chickadees may compete for nest sites.

Ecology

In Wyoming, Finzel recorded 6-7 bluebirds/16.2 ha (Bureau of Land Management, no date).

Reproduction

Clutch size 4-8 (usually 5-6). Sometimes 2 broods per year. Both sexes, primarily female, incubate about 13-14 days (Harrison 1978). Altricial young tended by both parents (may be assisted by young of first brood).
