Pairs or small flocks of this bluebird species are common
throughout open habitats with scattered trees, forest edge, agricultural
fields and riparian areas. The cavity nest is in a tree or nest box, and the
cavity floor is lined with grass, pine needles, twigs, hair and feathers.
Insects make up a large part of the diet, especially when feeding young, and
the insects are often captured in the air low over the ground. Berries are a
major food in the winter. |
