EASTERN BLUEBIRD
Sialia sialis: 6-6.5"

Easter bluebirds range from the mid-west to the eastern coast of America. They have a wonderful call "chur lee." The males have a reddish-brown throat and a brilliant blue back. When they fly, their blue becomes very evident.
I really like bluebirds. They can hover in flight... they are very pretty and they are somewhat shy. I kind of cheated for this picture. I saw that a couple had inhabitted a bird house set up in a field in Rutland State Park... and waited for one of them to perch on a nearby tree. It did, and I took the picture. This was at full zoom and then cropped in... I was probably over 100 feet away.
