Useful Hints

• The male Eastern Bluebird displays at his nest cavity to attract a female. He brings nest material to the hole, goes in and out, and waves his wings while perched above it.
• The female makes the nest by loosely weaving together grasses and pine needles, then lining it with fine grasses and occasionally horse hair or turkey feathers.
• After a successful clutch fledges, the female bluebird will often go off to build a second nest, leaving the male to care for the fledged young.
