Description
This is a colorful photo of a Mountain Bluebird in a tree in NW Arkansas. Distribution and habitatThe mountain bluebird is migratory. Their range varies from Mexico in the winter to as far north as Alaska, throughout the western U.S. and Canada. Northern birds migrate to the southern parts of the range; southern birds are often permanent residents. Some birds may move to lower elevations in winter. They inhabit open rangelands, meadows, generally at elevations above 5,000 feet. Contrary to popular belief, mountain bluebirds are not a species of concern in the United States. The turn around in mountain bluebird numbers is due to the overwhelming efforts of landowners in the West to provide nest boxes for these birds. At one time, mountain bluebird numbers were threatened because of increased agricultural activities destroying habitats.

Love the vivid blue in this Mountain bluebird. Reminds me of the blue in the Indigo bunting. We have Eastern bluebirds in the Midwest and although they are pretty they cannot compare to this beautiful bluebird! voted

Bob and Nadine--I like the new name--it helps a lot--I wish all the groups would put their number limit in the name. Thank you for featuring 'Beautiful Bluebird' in 'Beauty of this World 1 Daily'!
