Eastern Blue Bird

Eastern Blue Birds stand out in the colorless winter months. The male is a spectacular blue while the female is muted, although in flight, more of her blue coloring is visible than when she is stationary. 

The Codorus State Park in South Central PA where these photos were taken today has plentiful nesting boxes. Blue birds remain here year round.  The once dwindling number of blue birds is now thriving.
