Lots of colors (Sialia sialis)

Eastern Bluebird
Perched in the blooming Mimosa Tree with the pink, lots of green and of course blue from the Bluebird
Male Eastern Bluebirds are vivid, deep blue above and rusty or brick-red on the throat and breast. Blue in birds always depends on the light, and males often look plain gray-brown from a distance. Females are grayish above with bluish wings and tail, and a subdued orange-brown breast.
