Eastern Bluebirds can be found east of the Rockies, throughout
the eastern United States and Canada, and down to central Mexico.
Some populations are year-round residents, but others migrate to
more southerly latitudes for the winter. Eastern Bluebirds are
found in suburban and rural habitats containing sparse vegetation
and scattered trees or other perches. They typically nest in
fields, meadows, and orchards, avoiding both densely wooded and
congested residential areas. The breeding season begins anytime
from mid-March to early April.
Mount the Observation Bluebird House so the entrance hole is
approximately five feet above the ground. If possible, face the
house away from prevailing winds and facing towards a tree or
shrub which is within 100 feet of the house. Trees and shrubs
provide a landing spot for the young bluebirds when they first
leave the house. This will keep them off the ground, away from
predators. Eastern Bluebird Houses should be spaced at least 100
to 150 yards apart.
