She's an "Eastern Bluebird" (Sialia sialis) that can be seen in the eastern part of the country, as well as in eastern Texas. They are year around here in Georgia. They are gorgeous birds!!!


Here's her mate, and they are stunning birds indeed. The males like to show off for the females, like he's doing on top of the bluebird house in our backyard that she's nesting in.

When it comes to building and sitting on the nest though, the males are all show and no "go." Both will feed and raise the fledgelings though.

We've thoroughly enjoyed watching this mating pair in our backyard for the fast few weeks. Their light blue eggs should hatch in a week or so. They breed 3-4 times a season here in Georgia so we are hoping they'll return and do it again!
