BACKYARD SECRET–EASTERN BLUEBIRDS WILL TRAVEL IN FLOCKS

       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.
