The Western Bluebird is a small thrush with blue and rusty plumage. It drops from a low perch to catch insects on the ground.
Males are bright blue, rusty, and white. Females are mainly gray-brown with a blue tinge and are less vivid than males.
It watches for insects from low perches and swoops to the ground to catch them. Outside the breeding season it may gather in small flocks and eat insects or berries.
