Western Bluebirds hover over the ground and fly down to catch insects and may also fly from a perch to catch them. Their main diet consists of insects and berries.

The western bluebird: one of nature's finest!
Last Friday was a cloudy, rainy, chilly day and my mood matched the weather. Then I saw a western bluebird, and for the rest of the day I felt it was a “bluebird day” in spite of the weather. I was in the area of McArthur Lake when a male and female western bluebird landed in a budding tree nearby. Fortunately for me they were within camera range as I clicked away.
