Mountain Bluebird
Mountain Bluebird Habitat and Distribution
Mountain bluebirds are generally found at elevations greater than 7,000 feet during the summer months in the mountainous areas of western North America as far north as Alaska. They prefer sparse woodland edges and open areas such as alpine meadows, mountain prairies, and plowed agricultural fields, particularly if there are scattered trees to provide lookout perches. They may also be seen in recently burned areas where the vegetation is more open. These birds can be found year-round in the mountains of Nevada, southeastern Oregon, southern Utah, and Colorado, as well as in similar habitats in northern regions of Arizona and New Mexico.
