Sialia sialis
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The eastern bluebird is an intensely blue-backed bird with an orange breast, much loved in the United States. Its population collapsed in the mid-twentieth century because of competition with introduced starlings and sparrows and the loss of dead trees with holes. The mass installation of nest boxes by volunteers has reversed that decline completely.
