Eastern Bluebirds

It’s been years since I ran into a bunch of Bluebirds in the woods at Loch Raven.  I found these last weekend somewhat near Dulaney Valley Bridge …

Some factoids:

Migration

Resident to medium-distance migrant. Bluebirds leave breeding grounds in the north of their range to winter in the southeastern U.S. or Mexico. Populations in the northern part of their range are entirely migratory, spending winters in the southeastern United States or Mexico. Some fly as far as 2,000 miles between western Manitoba and Texas. Eastern Bluebirds from the southeastern U.S. may move short distances south or simply remain on their breeding territories all year.
