The Eastern Bluebird

Eastern and western bluebirds have a reddish brown breast, which contrasts with their blue plumage. It is the state bird of New York and Missouri, though they are mostly found west of the rocky mountains.
Bluebirds eat small fruits and hunt insects, spiders, and other creatures. The birds perch, watch, and then swoop to the ground to pounce on their prey. In the spring they build small bowl shaped nests, and the females lay four to five eggs.
