Range: Breeds In the United States (west to Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana), southern Canada, Mex ico, and Guatemala; winters in the southern half of the eastern United States and south to Guatemala. Habits and economic status: The bluebird is one of the most familiar tenants of the farm and dooryard. Everywhere it is hailed as the har binger of spring, and wherever it chooses to reside it is sure of a warm welcome. This bird, like the robin, phoebe, house wren, and some swal lows, is very domestic in its habits. Its favorite nesting sites are crannies in the farm buildings or boxes made dor its use or natural cavities in old apple trees. For rent the bird pays amply by destroying insects, and it takes no toll from the farm crop. The bluebird's diet consists of 68 per cent of insects to 32 per cent of vegetable matter. The largest items of insect food are grasshoppers first and beetles next, while caterpillars stand third. All of these are harmful except a few of the beetles. The vegetable food consists chiefly of fruit pulp, only an Insignificant portion of which is of cul tivated varieties. Among wild fruits elderberries are the favorite.
