This could be where I raise my chicks: I am a bird that prefers to live in meadows and fields. Some say my song sounds like I am singing “cheer, cheerful, charmer”. Click here to listen! My habitat is being reduced due to land management practices and development. As succession occurs, old fields are going back to forests. The loss of trees, especially old/decaying trees, has caused a lack of nesting sites (tree cavities) for me. Also, competition from invasive secondary cavity nesters like tree swallows and european starlings have contributed to the decline of my species. If I am a male, I am dark blue with a rusty red breast and throat. If I am a female I am grayish above with bluish wings and a subdued orange breast. I prefer to eat insects...I particularly like worms. Do you know what bird I am?
