The Eastern Bluebird, also known as Sialia sialis, is a member of the thrush family. It is larger than a sparrow but smaller than a blue jay and can be found everywhere from Canada to the Gulf States and East of the Rockies. With the right pieces of wood and some basic power tools, you can build a house for this beautiful bird and give it a place to stay in your yard.
