Hi everyone--
Six species of warbler, including 18 American Redstarts, were in Estabrook 
Park, Milwaukee Co., on Saturday morning (yesterday), but the birds I was most 
excited about were two Eastern Bluebirds, very much alive, hunting from trees 
in the northwestern corner of the dog exercise area. 

Question: Do male bluebirds acquire a bright orange chest and dark blue back 
and wings the year they fledge? Does the head of bluebirds at this age appear 
gray, not blue?
