I have never considered the eastern bluebird to be a species that travels in flocks. When I think of birds that flock birds such as red-winged blackbirds, waterfowl and mourning doves come to mind. However, ornithologists tell us that bluebirds will form flocks of upwards of 30 to over 100 individuals
I would love to see a large flock of these dazzling songbirds. If you would like to see such a flock too, now is a great time embark on a search for one. This is because the birds gather in flocks most often in fall and winter.
No problem in our yard. We routinely see groups of 15 to 30 birds attacking our mealworms and water sources.
Richard,
I am envious! I have never seen anywhere near that number at my Middle Georgia home.
I certainly had no idea that they ever formed flocks. Good information, Terry.
William,
A blogger responded to say he routinely sees groups of 15-30 using water and eating mealworms. Not me.
