Snapshot: Eastern Bluebird

This is a young Eastern Bluebird. It has almost attained the adult blue, chestnut and white plumage, but it still has some juvenile spotting. Bluebirds are a member of the Thrush family, most of whom have abundant spotting on their fronts. Bluebirds and another Thrush family member, the American Robin, only have spots when they are juveniles.
