New York State Bird - Eastern Bluebird

The bluebird was adopted as the State bird in 1970.

The once-prolific Eastern bluebird has been making a comeback from low numbers in the 1950s. Many people provide special nesting boxes along fence rows for bluebirds, to supplement natural nesting cavities.
