The eastern bluebird is a small thrush found in open woodlands, farmlands, and orchards. It is the state bird of Missouri and New York. The adult male is blue above and with a rusty chest. Females have blueish wings and tail and are grayish above.

Between June and August, the North American populations are usually breeding and the juvenile eastern bluebirds look dusky brown to dark tawny in the upperparts, the blue hues duller or washed grayish, the underparts being dull whitish with dusky spots and streaks. The females' primary feathers usually look dull, dingy grayish with little blue while they are more extensively and brighter blue in males.

They are very social birds. At times, they gather in flocks of a hundred or more, and tend to live in open country around trees, but with little understory and sparse ground cover.
