Observation details
One of the more interesting encounters I've had with this species. Driving along the road a male bluebird flew over the van, so I started to pull over when it flew over again. As soon as I parked the bird landed directly on the hood. We sat in the van for about 15 minutes as it moved from the hood to the windshield, to the mirrors and the grille. This smart individual was picking off recently killed insects and taking them to a nearby partner and nest! Eventually we got out of the car and sat on the ground while the bird continued its feeding, landing on the ground just feet away a few times as well!
