BLUEBIRD

Dominic
RANGE MAP
 The Bluebird migrates as
an adaptation to survive
winter, but there is a very
large area where Bluebirds
live year-round and simply
endure the winter.
 The very north of the
Bluebird's range is where it
only exists during breeding
season
 A small area in the south-
west of its range is where
they only live during
winter, it is too hot there
during the summer months
 Most of the Bluebird's
range is suitable year-round
DIET

HUMAN IMPACT
 Building Blubird Boxes (such as the one pictured to
the right) can very much help Bluebirds year-
round as a:
 Nesting Spot
 Roosting Spot
 Place to keep warm

 The House Sparrow is an invasive species brought

to America by Europeans that push Bluebirds out
of their habitats
 Feral cats and cats that have been let out or
released kill many Bluebirds as well as other
small songbirds and finches
