Original habitats include open, generally burned pine savannas, beaver ponds, mature open woods, and forest openings. Today, they are most common along pastures, agricultural fields, suburban parks, backyards, and golf courses. The male Eastern Bluebird displays at his nest cavity to attract a female. He brings nest material to the hole, goes in and out, and waves his wings while perched above it. The female Eastern Bluebird is the only one that builds the nest and incubates the eggs.
