Bluebird

This one is easily recognized as a Bluebird. I couldn't actually see it very well until I pulled out the camera so I thought it was just another one of the Mockingbirds that it was hanging out with. I don't know why one male bluebird was hanging out with 20+ mockingbirds, but he was.
Bluebirds are small thrushes. They have short tails and beaks, with a red-orange breast and neck, and blue head, wings, and back. They do have white undersides
They're bug eaters mostly, but do eat fruits too.
Bluebirds are commonly found on roadsides and near open fields.
